Thanks. I appreciate the leads, but I think the trail has gone cold.
Unfortunately, I've been using Jameco for months now
(building my own homebrew LCD/6502 micro), so unless I'm totally
blind they don't have the edge cards anymore. JDR Microdevices
has the 44 pin socket, but not edge card. No luck with BG Micro either.
Mouser sounds a little promising with this, but it still doesn't sound right?:

I may be stuck with
paying a premium price somewhere like the atari site. :(
On the bright side, I found vector electronic's webpage and found
the product numbers, so maybe I'll fire up Google and use some
brute-force searching. :)

And I never have trouble finding $50.00 worth of Jameco stuff
I want to take home with me. Never a problem. :)
MIght try www.atari.org. They have links to the
common suppliers of
obsolecent Atari gear. Including development boards and the like.
Wish I could remember all of them, but:
BravoSierra is one, B&C Computervisions is another, and there are a couple
of others that escape my perforated memory. Acid is not a good thing for
your long-term memory....

Those are good suggestions, but IMHO the atari dealers get kinda
expensive... the 44-pin slots were actually quite standard, and are
available from www.jameco.com & *prolly* (but don't quote me) from
www.bgmicro.com. Jameco also has the 44-pin edge proto boards, which might
be handy if you like to do homebrew electronics.
These guys carry a lot of older things, but they don't (usually) want an
arm & leg from you...
Another good place to try is www.mouser.com - I'm not affiliated with them
other than a very satisfied customer...
Jameco wants a $5.00 "processing fee" for orders under $50.00, so you might
want to browse the catalog for other stuff they carry...

(Oh, Jeff - I did get your email, but things have been crazy over the
winter - I have quaffed a few ales with your brother (and he likes my
homebrew... ;-), he only lives a few miles from me.)
