I got the A-164-1 Manual Gate together with some other of the new (and
 useful) utility modules. I noticed, that the jumper pins of A-164-1
 stick out to the space belonging to the next module (on the right side
 of A-164-1). Because of this there are some restrictions in module
 placement. This may not be the case with Doepfer modules, as for
 example A-164-1 + A-113 was ok despite first looking dubious). Also,
 the A-164-1 can't be placed to the rightmost position in a Doepfer
 cabinet.
 I have had the same issue with two Analogue Systems RS230:s and was a
 bit frustrated to face it again. On the other hand, if the option would
 be to have a 8HP module, this is obviously better.
 To avoid compromising module placement I could propably simply cut the
 jumpers, since I don't need them right now.
