I've asked this before but it seems like time to
ask again. I'd like to make some _proper_ DEC-style cables with
round shielded cable and true BERG headers on the end(s). I know that IDC connectors can
be used as a substitute
but I'd really like to be able to find the old crimp-pin and insert style. Does
anybody have a source or even a
non-DEC part number for the header box and/or pins? Note that it is actually a 44-pin
carrier to center it in the 40
pin receptacle.
They seem to still be made -- Farnell list them as part of the 'extended range'
[1]. See here :

The contacts are extra, this will not be a cheap solution :-)
[1] Basically, the old Newark stuff. In the UK we have to pay extra shipping for these
products.
There may well be other sources of them.
