Attached file 'SMD_07.xls' contain my notes from run 7, the only things that might be useful for
you is in the red color, permanently disconnected anode wires and affected
strips (again this is not SoftIds). I think that I cut out one more wire
before Run8 started, but for that I need to check logbook.

Here is a note from Oleg Tsai (and attached file "wiresup.pdf" below) concerning source
measurements of the BSMD gain behavior near the nylon wire supports:
