Ok, three points:

1. I'm not complaining about Tim's cases.  I think they're a nice product 
and have purchased three of them.

2. I'm not referring to the width of the case.  The only fit issue I've 
noticed is that the hole location puts the edge connector about 1/4" 
further out of the case than, e.g. a small Tandy FDC PCB would be.  The 
result is that the "feet" of the case do not touch the bottom of the slot, 
which allows the SDC to rock a bit.

3. The underlying issue is that the SDC board doesn't have a "Tandy" 
standard spacing between the tip of the edge connector and the PCB center 
hole.  So, if Tim relocated the holes in the case design it would put 
other boards that follow the "standard" (such as it is) too far in.

Maybe it's possible to change the SDC board design?  Not sure what the 
best all around answer is.

I'm sending Tim and Zippster a couple of pictures to illustrate.

Not a huge issue either way.
