Which was where I
really was tryign to go with this. :-)
And they are far from being cheap or low-cost. I've recently ordered many
different card edge connectors from DigiKey, the most needed were the 48
pin 0.156" ones used for the HP2100/HP1000. They cost 7,30 EUR each *plus*
customs and VAT. And DigiKey is actually the only one that will sell you
these, so I wouldn't say (apart from DIMM sockets) that they are still
very common.
