Oh butts I sent that before I proofread.
I'm in the Pacific Northwest, about three or four hours east of Vancouver
BC. I have access to freight services should you take that route but for
your wallet I'd strongly recommend some sort of local or negotiated pickup.

That bloody EDAC connector is not cheap. I ended up sourcing one for like
$60. On the other hand you can hunt around for scrap 50 conductor telco
cable and you're all set for cabling. You can usually get it for its weight
in copper from a scrapyard.

No, but it is still available (easily) and it is very well made. Or at least the ones I
have used are. The back shells are designed so you can fit them round the
cable after wiring, thus avoiding the fruity language normally produced when
you wire up nearly 100 wires and realise you have forgotten to thread the cable
through the back shell.
