[comp.sys.att] 99 pin connector for unix-pc bus

motteler@umbc3.UMBC.EDU (Howard E. Motteler) (06/16/89)

I know this has come up before, but has anyone ever found a source
for those 99 pin connectors on the expansion bus?  96 pins are so
close, but so far away...  Note: we've looked in obvious places, like
the AMP catalog.  I'd hate to try gluing three 33 pin inline strips!

Howard et al,

My amp rep called the factory and found out the following:

It IS (of course) a custom part.
It is NOT proprietory
It IS available, but there is the dreadded minimum purchase 
quantity.  
I was advised that a local distrubuter listed the number as a
good part number, but had zero stock.  This indicates to me 
that someone somewhere may have a few collecting dust.

For your info the number is:

AMP 2-532431-0 for the plug in boards
AMP 2-532433-0 for the motherboard

I am interested in picking up a few, but my needs were never
enough to justify a factory build.  (about $500 worth)


Let me know if you learn more.

cul,
