Hi Adrian,
Sigh ... :-) ... as you say, you often regret later that impulse to have
a "good clear out" of things, later in reflection.
Good luck with the "home brew" connection !
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
