The annoying thing is that I know I've seen connectors like these on some old CP/M computer equipment I had in the garage. But, alas, it has gone the way of all things garage and was taken away when I did a house clearance before moving. Nowadays I'd put that kind of thing on on eBay, label it "rare", and make enough money to retire ;)
When the bits arrive, and after I've spent an afternoon of sodding about with a Stanley knife, a soldering iron and a tube of super glue I'll report back. As you say, it won't be good enough for regular use but it should serve the purpose. Adrian --- On Wednesday, October 28, 2009, 2:59:49 PM, you wrote: MC> In message <[email protected]>, Adrian D.
