O.K. For me, that was not a problem, since this thread - based on comments in my OP - had started to run dry.

Exactly - and each module can be tested to check that it's performance is up to the design spec. Also careful attention usually needs to be made to individual module screening and inter-module connections.

Hah! A prototype panel that doesn't look a "bit shabby" usually signifies that the design hasn't yet been fully validated!

Reminds me of a quote I heard somewhere from someone -
"You'll know when the design is almost completed: that's when the drawing has so much Tippex on it, the drawing will stand up on its edge on the bench!"
