Wow,
I'd like to find some of these IDC connectors. I did not know there was
such a beastie. I thought it was only a mythical creature that lurked
about in the minds of some men as only dreams can produce. [gawd who wrote
that?]
Mike, don't mind him, he doesn't get out enough. So this is a 50 pin IDC
to 25 pin DB25 connector eh? Have to talk to my supplier.
Oh, BTW, on another circuit. I've been trying to track down a supply of
the micro switches that are used in the standard Amiga mouse. These are
made by OMRON and I located them, and a Philadelphia distributor. The
standard switch is .30 each the more durable is .35 cents each and the
gold plated ones are 1.35 each. Now, they have a $30 dollar minimum order
limit. So, if you or anyone else want some of these switches I'd like to
know. I could order a hundred or so of the cheaper ones and mail a few to
whomever is in need of them for cost + S&H, unless you know where I can
get a dozen without paying a $30 minimum charge. They offered to send me a
few free samples, so I'll probably be happy fixing my two broken mice but
I know others would like to repair their broken mice. It is a real easy
fix, I've already cannibalized several older mice and at .30/.35 cents
plus postage it be worth it to have a ten or twelve laying in the parts
bin.
