Make sure you understand autoconfig, so that you won't be tempted to just solder all the pins to the connector, and be prepared to do some hacking on the Alegra, if necessary. After you've done the deed, try the toy you want to plug in before you buy it, if possible. Boards plugged in this way are definitely not guaranteed to work. -larry -- It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Does anyone know a source for an 86-pin card edge? I don't need a connector, but some way to add a pass through to an Alegra board. The Alegra 2M board has some pins which stick out off the back of its connector. I was hoping to bend the pins and solder them to 1/3 of the edge and use the other edge for plugging in another toy. Any suggestions? -- <------------------------------------------------------------------------------> < FRANK BRANHAM | Currently at work on a VERY deranged > < Georgia Institute of Technology | RPG.

I'm not sure what you want (not your fault :-)) but I would suggest checking Digikey (1-800-digikey)...they have a lot of stuff like this (I hope!) [ask for their catalog] -- Dan Babcock
