Found a problem in my IRIS 3k - didn't have a

memory bus. I doubt that this is still available through retail
channels Gerhard helped quite a lot by taking pictures of the board
and giving a description of where it went, now I need to fab one.
Three ideas:
If you have unused connectors on the ribbon cables (e.g. last memory
board not instaled) just use a suitable male connector for the ribbon
cable, solder the resistors to it and connect it to the last, unused
connector of the cable.
If you need all connectors on the ribbon cables make a new cables with
one additional connector, then see above.
Use a male and female connector, solder the pins at the tips together,
so that you get a 1:1 male-female connector. Solder the resistors to the
sides of this.
All of this is not hard if you know how to handle a soldering iron. I
build SCSI terminators that way.
