I don't think I'd go that far with this "pluggable" thing. If a K-net is bad, you replace it....end of story. Making the entire board more accessible with all the possible parts to fail, makes at least some sense....I guess if you were to become a "Predicta Specialist" and do nothing but those sets, you could justify some more re-design along those lines. Heck, I think it would be cool to bundle all the loose wires into chassis and board harnesses, and put in 1 male and 1 female 30 contact connector! Talk about easy to service! But would I do it for 1 set?
