Got a spare A1200 mobo that I'm willing to sell but the thing misses one of the mouse/game ports and has an IDC10 female connector instead. It's also a smaller motherboard, missing the area beneath where the missing rightmost gameport/mouse would be.
How frequent are these ?

Anyways, problem is that the port is on a flat cable (IDC10) wich also has a female connector. Electronics stores allways have female IDC connectors , couldn't find any male thing on both sides. Any hints ?

It's a 2B, which normally has the 2 ports, at least from the pictures I've see in amiga-hardware.com.

Anyway, I still need the f****** connector... or female to male adaptor.

"Common"

 Great, well at least should be easier getting the cable, I don't want to sell it without it.

That's the cable I got but the header on my motherboard is also female...

Don't really feel like soldering it, and while I can use straight pieces of wire it would probable be too loose.
Will try to improvise an adapter or maybe find one on the net, you never know, sometimes after giving up things show up almost by accident :lol:

Wow! The auction Chain pionted to has one:) But I think it's too exprensive for just a connector, I'll try to make my own ripping off some pins on a couple of broken PC motherboards a friend of mine has..
