Ummm, aren't those just .1" spaced contact two-sided card-edges? My
memory may be faulty, but I seem to remember taking prototype boards
with 100 "tongues" per side (what _is_ the proper word?) and using a
hacksaw to cut off the required amount and shape (22 per side?) to fit
the expansion port shape. It would also be a lot easier to solder
to....
(The proto boards may have been custom to the place I was working for...)
Ugh, I seemed to be doped up this morning. I was meaning the connectors
for the EXPANSION port, not game cartridges which, as you say, have
tongues and not slot headers.
The appropriate broken carts I would be looking for would be REUs and
similar for these headers.
My apologies for the confusion!
