[oc] Prototype boards like the XSA-100

["Paul McFeeters" <paul.mcfeeters@ntlworld.com>]

Agador,

couldn't you use the board 'upside-down' or even on its side if you are worried about
the prototyping pins shorting out? Or get a piece of wood and cut out a mounting
cradle for it?

I don't think mousemats are conductive unless you've got a weird silver foil one or
suchlike. Obviously try not to spill anything on it as I accidentally did on a hard 
disk years ago which killed the drive completely.

Paul

PS I don't use any Xess boards myself yet, I only use BurchEd boards so we don't have
this problem but I hope the suggestions help you.
