Someone on this board is going to put together
the connectors and harnesses that are mounted to the rear of the sled,
It is MY plan to use those to make home docking stations WITHOUT an actual sled.
Some from wood at first, unfinished.
So people can stain and polyurethane them to their liking,
Then possible some black 'metal' ones.
There is a shop near me that sells "empty" stereo equipment chassis that
come with flat black fronts that can be cut out with you favorite dremmel tool.
The connector are said to be available next month

I will keep everyone in the loop on my docking station creation project,
probably not until August for that, however.
