The picture I'm looking at has four rows of holes. A standard 100 conductor ribbon cable would be about 127mm wide. The connector would be slightly wider. This wouldn't fit. Did you mean 2 50 conductor cables? Then the 4 rows of holes would make sense, and it would fit. There are smaller ribbon cables. Newer PATA cables have 80 conductor ribbon cables connected to special 80-to-40 pin connectors with standard pin spacing. If these holes are thru-hole, connectors (or just pin headers) could be added in the field. If they are surface mount, soldering the inner rows could be tricky. If these are standard IDC connectors, they shouldn't cost that much relative to a "at least $1500" OGD board. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
