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. Chris
