I've been trying to put togeather the Dual Pin Header for the Lucas project, and I've had not luck. The idea is to get something to connect the lucas board to the amiga's 68K socket., with a .6" spacing so that we have the following: (Lucas board) ------------------------------ .6 |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| (64 .018" pins) ------------------------------ ---------68K socket----------- I've tried to follow Brad's instructions: "The easiest method is to buy two 64 pin 68000-like sockets (aga in gold is best) and connect them together with 64 bits of wire." However I was unable to find 68K sockets, so I tried to hack it out with 16 pin sockets (It looked horrible and is SO unstable that I can say with confidence that it will never work, in fact I could never get it completely togeather at one time). And from my experience I can see that even with 64 pin sockets, it would be almost as bad. So, Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to how I can get/make some kind of connector? At this point I'm open to almost anything (scrapping the project looks more and more likely), so I'de appreciate any suggestions... +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Disclaimer: Me?
