Indeed, Vector still makes "Vectorbords".
They also make boards with various
bus edge connectors called "Plugbords". The problem with these things is
that they are very expensive, imho. For example, a prototyping board for
the XT bus with edge connectors and nothing more is about $25.
This raises a question I have had for some time. What
DO people use to make
prototype boards with edge connectors as an alternative to Plugbords? I ran
into this very problem recently in trying to create a prototype ROM Pac for
the Exidy Sorcerer. Other than buying Plugbords or etching a PCB, the only
solution I saw was cutting up an old card and gluing the edge connectors to
a prototype board. Other suggestions?
If the traces are of the right pitch, you may just cut away any superfluous
traces from a veroboard. The common pitch is 2,5 mm, I think, but in some
cases, that won't work, like in the Atari ST cartridge port, which has a 2,0
mm pitch. In that case, etching seems to be the only alternative.
In the case of home-brew cartridges for game consoles, going at an existing
cartridge with an iron is the prevailing method.

A Spanish MSX Group "Matra" visited to this Fair. I lent Spanish stand to
them. They showed and did Promotion play of SEX BOMB BUNNY. And this Game has
tema song of Majingar-Z! Why they know Japanese TV animation?
