I've been looking around for good sources for the parts to the Lucas Project (I already have a check in the mail for the PCB), and there was one Item from the Parts list that has me a bit baffled: 2 ROWS 32 X 1, (.7 INCH long) HEADER PINS (SAMTEC) ** See Note ** I from reading over the notes I assume that this parts is used to hook the two 68K sockets together (although I could be very wrong). The question I have is: Where Can I get them? They don't seem to be in any the the various electronics catalogues I've looked in (I'm not really surprised since I've never heard of this part before). Does anyone know where I could obtain this part? (assuming my assumption is right I don't want to have a bunch of sires running from one socket to another) Any help would be appreciated. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Disclaimer: Me?

I picked up a machine socket, placed it under the board in the right position, and inserted the capacitor leads through the board and into the socket. When they were all in place, I raised the socket off the board by about 1/2" or so and soldered the wires in place on both the board and the socket. Not a pretty sight, but a solution nonetheless. -larry -- "Intelligent CPU?
