HP cables CAN be a pain to replicate... they are never happy with a

unless it has 50 wires in it ;)
EDAC makes card edge connectors that mate with the
usual 48 position
connector cards, but they are not standard stock items that you can
order anywhere that I have found. I requested a sample and got a
couple. I forget the exact part number without checking.
Careful, you'll need
both single registration and dual registration
connectors, both 48 pin and both look the same initially.
It might be worth finding out what the item cost and
minimum order
would be to order some of these, and how long the lead time would be.
Yes, it would
be. I have a decent stash of the connectors, but could always
use more. I could also use some of the most typical bulk cable used with
them. I'd be happy to go into a group purchase on this.
There was also someone selling used connectors+hoods
with the rest of
the cable chopped off on eBay a while back. Something like a couple
of them for $10. My guess is that he has more of them but just hasn't
listed any in a while.
That was ebayid SammySlave, he's in San Jose CA. I
suspect he has more.
Sometimes the ones he puts up are single registration, some are dual.
