[comp.sys.atari.st] Cartridge port connectors

Z4648252@SFAUSTIN.BITNET (Z4648252) (01/09/90)

Hello all,

    Does anyone know a U.S. source for project boards and connector
pieces that will fit the cartridge port.  I don't want to mention my
experience at a local Tandy store when attempting to describe the size
of the trace runs and their spacing.  (Uh, if you want to hear something
REALLY funny, ask a Tandy store if they have a socket that will fit a
68000 chip--never mind...sigh).
    At any rate, a U.S. source would be appreciated.  Thanks!!!

Yes. Douglas Electronics, 718 Marina Blvd, San Leandro Ca 94577: 415-483-8770
Their cartridge port connector is part 33-DE-40, priced at $10.00 the last time
I bought one a year ago; they take credit cards.

Their connector is a board about 3" x 5" with the connector at one end and
enough room for a few ICs and/or a 40-pin flat cable connector.
