I knew this one was coming...
I had to leave room on the front panel for the keypad.  It may already be too
tight for the membrane switches and overlay that I had planned on using.
I'm not sure how close the edge of a membrane switch can be to the edge of
the panel, but I have to be getting close to the limit.  I could probably fit
a 4x20 LCD in the drive bay and still have the keypad if I had a custom
injection molded plastic front made with real momentary switches behind the
panel.  I'll post some pictures of things soon so that you can see what I
mean.  I eventually want to try it if it's not too expensive to manufacture
and this first model is successful.
