Hi all,
Anybody knows, if they are still available somewhere ?
Order number ?
(I'm talking about the connectors on the backplanes, with .125" spacing)
cheers & thanks

No idea what the commercial availability is, but why would they be
that difficut to make with a double-sided unetched circuit board, thin
band saw, ruler, fine-tipped marker, etc. and a template consisting of
any DEC unibus, qbus or omnibus board? It may take a couple of tries
to get it right, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. Basically,
cut out the two corners on one side to create the outline of the
connector, then, mark where the cut-outs are on the connector between
the pins, use a saw to cut the cut-outs into the circuit board.

I'm not the original author, but I think he's looking for the plastic
connector that goes onto the backplane. That'd be much harder to come by
(well, unsoldered, anyhow) than the connectors off of an etched circuit
board; also it'd make more since than wanting the 'fingers' end of a
PCB.

Not neccassary the ones with wire-wrap, but ANY would be good already ;-)
So, where did you get them ?

...the plastic

If somebody is looking for DEC standard
card sockets
(plastic body, card slot on one side, wirewrap pins on the
other side) let me know and I'll go check my supplier,
who had some last time I visited.
