[net.micro.atari16] Cartridge port connector - query

I sort of remember seeing something but can't find it:

Does anybody know of some plug available for the ST cartridge port?
I am thinking of something like a board with the right fingers on an edge,
expanded to a more standard width on the other edge, or even with an edge
connector on the other edge.  I DON'T need any traces for PROMS.

I couldn't find one either, it being some kind of non-standard.
I did however manage to kludge up an adapter to a .1" centers edge connector by sticking copper tape on an appropriatly trimmed piece of pc board using the 
cartridge artwork included with developers kit as a guide.  It's ugly but it
worked like a dream.
If your not in the hurry I was I suggest you draw up and etch your own.
