[comp.sys.atari.st] Looking for chassis-mountable monitor socket

loki@moncam.uucp (Never Kid A Kidder) (01/16/90)

I've hunted ad nauseam for one of those twelve-pin monitor
plugs/sockets.  They don't seem to exist in the UK.  Can *anyone* tell
me where I can get them?  I've rehoused my 520-ST, and I would like to
take an extender lead from the old monitor socket on the motherboard
to the chassis (I couldn't mount it flush to the chassis, you see).
For this I need one plug and one socket.  If they aren't easily
attainable, can anyone offer me old ones that they no longer need
(clutching at straws here I think...)

Also, is it safe to extend the cartridge port with a ribbon cable of,
say, six inches?  What is the maximum extension likely to be?

Thanx in advance.
