Hi,
Does anyone know where to get some inexpensive prototype boards with the
22/44 pin edge connectors?
I am looking for something like DATAK or VELLEMAN boards preferably under
$10 a piece.
I have looked but have not been able to find any. Any hints would be much
appreciated.
Well, these boards are a bit over USD 10 each, but if you're after a
versatile prototyping board that was edge connectors for the VIC 20, the
C64, the C16/C116/Plus-4 and the Apple II line of computers, you might
want to check out the '8 Bit Baby' at:

You might find them a bit on the pricey side, but given the scarcity of
these type of boards and the fact that you can use them to interface to
several different types of computers, I reckon they're pretty good value
for money.
If you want to re-use them across projects, you can even solder strips
of IC-style sockets to the 8 Bit Baby and build your circuits on
daughter-boards instead.
Hope this helps,
Pete
