   The dimension is right, the arrows are wrong...  Or the ASCII art is poor. The   
   2.95" dimension is from the "front" of the edge connector to the rear of the   
   entire board, I saw a poor/cut off PDF scan that made it clearer. The   
   dimensions are from a common    
   origin, as is correct practice, and it is formed by the intersection of the   
   rear most edge of the board and the very bottom of the edge connector  - a   
   location that is in open space due to the outline of the board.
