Are they all stereo jacks? Also are they PCB mount or just mounted to the chassis?

As in one big PCB that would make it perfect for an input board?

No, each 'channel' has its own PCB with 4 jacks on it (two facing front, two facing back) and then a switch for selecting the mode.
EDIT: I take that back, no actual switch.

No sorry I chose a different wiring scheme so I don't use 1/4" cables, I just found the patch bay and had an idea. I'm getting nearly all my info from my knowledge of patch bays and the pdf manual.

Heh, It makes sense now... 96 stereo jacks is actually enough for 5.6 megadrums... I forgot each jack is two channels... 17 jacks per module, not 32...

Should be worth mentioning that a few people who bought this patch bay say that the jacks are not connected/attached to the case at all so when you're plugging things in/out, you're putting pressure on the PCB and the solder joints.
