1) Gold edge fingers increase the board cost. Would
people prefer a cheaper
board with .1 headers like my wirewrap board that will need non standard
cables or proper edge connectors for the drive emulation?
I get an added cost of less than $2 per board for the gold fingers (from the
quote engine at sunstone.com). At that price, I think it would be worth it to
be able to use the vintage cables folks presumably already have, rather than
new cables that would probably cost more than $2 to make.
