I confirm the technical docs are WRONG. 2.590" to 2.600" seems fine. My Mockingboard is 2.600 (or was it the Uthernet?).

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.

Don't panic.
