You drove 1500 miles to maybe find the correct
connector? Did I mention I'm
part owner of the Brooklyn bridge, and could be persuaded to sell my
interests in it for a reasonable fee?
Well the trip was actually to pick up a dual RX01 floppy drive from John
Lawson in Los Angeles, the trip from LA to San Diego was to visit one of my
friends who lives there.
I found the connectors during a junk scrounge with my friend.
Were the ones you bought usable with standard IDE
ribbon cable? or were
they solder eyelet versions? I see Digikey sells these with solder eyelets,
but the smallest they sell is a 44 connector, and we're looking for 36...
They have 1/2" solder tails, and can be used to make the edge connectors
with a suitable small circuit board. I'll have to make the circuit board
myself.
I'm not in immediate need for this, but it would be
a great thing to
buy a supply of while they are still available.
I can dig up the name of the place if you need it.
