Mesa has some of their I/O boards with terminal header options - the boards are about $20 more than their ribbon header counterparts, but the two 24-pin terminal plugs are about $22 *each*. It's less than a (reasonable quality) breakout board, but not by all that much. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
