I lost track of the thread, but someone was asking about patchbays...
The UK based mag Sound On Sound has run a couple of articles on the use
and
configuration of them.
Check:
March 1998:

and

Sound on Sound is an excellent mag. It's a bit pricey to subscribe to it
outside of the UK, but it's WELL worth it. The quality and depth of the
reviews and articles are far above the normal US offerings.
A couple of months ago, they started an "international" version. This mag
has the same articles as the UK/Europe version but without all the UK
based
advertising. It's $50/year LESS than the UK version (and about 1/2 the
number of pages!). Info is here:
