folks: Can anybody provide us with information leading to the purchase of one of the following: - 4- to 8-slot card cage for 4" x 4" cards with 44 pin .135" spacing edge connectors, and somewhere between .5" and .75" between boards? Vector doesn't seem to have anything resembling this; these cards are normally 4.5" wide and 6.5" or so long... - failing that, we'll make our own, but we'd like to at least get printed circuit stock backplane with the same dimensions as above. This is all needed rather urgently; we are currently using a very hacked solution, and none of the usual places - vendors, distributors, what have you - have been able to provide us with a full card cage, a wired backplane, or even bare pc backplane without edge-card connectors. Any and all pointers to sources for this stuff would be greatly appreciated. Mark Friedman mbf@cmu-20c -------

You can also use virtually any edge socket that you can attach to the back rails. So, you might want to look at Vector again...
