Hi Ray,
I received the Spy control front panel prototype few days ago,
thanks for it.
It seems quite good, but there is a detail that I think should be
modified.
It's about the window of the 2 10 pins flat connectors, at the lower end
of the front panel ( byteblaster and EPC2 connector).
The 2 windows are a little bit narrow: in the original design they were
0.3984 inches but in your front panel they're about 8 mm, and the male
connector doesn't fit.
both these windows should be widened. To be precise the long side close to 
the pcb should stay where it is, while the window vertical side away from
the pcb should be moved further away (to the right i.e.) to make the
window opening large enough.
Note that this window will look pretty large on the spy control you
have in chicago, which has a "streamlined" connector header for 
the byteblaster cables, but in the final boards I'm putting a header 
with plastic case and keying that requires the additional space.
