: Help!!!  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?

	Samtec makes just what you're looking for. Find out who's your local
electronics distributer for Samtec and see if they can get some for you. If
you give me  a ring at work one of these days, I can come up with a part  
number. (And maybe a phone number to find the distributers...) The part you
need is a machined standoff that solders to the bottom of the Lucas board
and plugs into the Amigas 68000 socket without damaging said socket, right?
