I buy the same edge card connectors that MITS bought,

the company they are $17-$20. : )
I learned that the rule was "gold against gold" and "tin against tin"
for edge connectors and IC sockets. Otherwise, there would be
galvanic corrosion between the tinned and gold surfaces, particularly
in high-humidity environments.
Is this not true?
