Having gotten a number of responses to my last request (proto cards for
reasonable (< $20.00), I thought I'd relay them. Many people want cheap
proto cards. Since I can go to Radio Shack (yuch!) and buy standard 22/44
pin cards for about $5.00, it's absurd to pay $20+ for them. Where is the
hobbyist support. Manufacturers: Here is a market! Sell them. Please.
Basicly, noone knows where to get them, but everyone wants them.

If you can find them, Bishop Graphics sold a properly shaped blue-fiberglass perfboard, as well as fiberglass-backed adhesive traces for the connector edge itself, but getting them properly centered the first time was a pain. I seem to dimly remember the card and connects going for around $17. -dave -- David "bd" Hsu hsu@eneevax.umd.edu <or> seismo!mimsy!eneevax!hsu EE Computer Facility, Maryversity of Uniland, College Park, MD 20742
