   I'm looking for a retail source for an obscure connector used
for the expansion bus on the Datavue Spark laptop. It's made by
"K.L. Electronics" and looks like a centronics printer connector,
but smaller-- actually about the same size, but it has 50 pins
instead of 36. The part number Datavue gave me is 8802-050-170.
The computer has two rows of pins down the center (like a printer
cable), so I need two rows of pins to fit on either side of these
(like the connector on a printer). There are two of these end to
end, with no shell around them.
 
   I only need two (plus maybe a spare), but the distributor has
a $100 minimum order. Does anyone know of any other product that
uses this connector? Or any companies that specialize in obscure
connectors?
