The Really Annoying thing about this all is that Radio Schlock used to
sell a 25/50 pin card on the right centers for Apple ]['s, shaped (albeit
the wrong form factor) and priced like the 22/44 card, but discontinued
them about 4 years ago.  If you can find them, Bishop Graphics sold a
properly shaped blue-fiberglass perfboard, as well as fiberglass-backed
adhesive traces for the connector edge itself, but getting them properly
centered the first time was a pain.  I seem to dimly remember the card
and connects going for around $17.
