- nope, I think about $5 (maybe $7?). RS part #276-192
- I've got a couple laying around waiting to get used,
- so it couldn't have been $30. For the cart edge card connector,
- Digikey has some for $3 (30 pins is sort of oddball, but they
- have it).

- Anyway, I don't know if it would be any easier than the other
- way - but it'd probably *look* more like a 800xl pbi
