What do you call this thing-a-majig?
« on: July 15, 2008, 05:39:23 PM »
Hi!

I bought a scandoubler for my A500 from one of A.org's fellow forum members (thx Erkan!). It's the Multivision 500.

As I expected it would not fit together with my accelerator, because the Multivision 500 plugs into Denise's socket, which is covered by my Viper 530. I was thinking of getting some sort of extension cable that plugs into Denise's socket and then extends the socket to a different spot in my A500 where I have enough room to position the Multivision.

I've uploaded an example of such an extension (used on a kickstart switch I have) to my site which you can see here

Thing is, I've no idea what you call this and have had no luck Googling for it. Anyone know what it's called and where I can order one? I've tried searching for combinations and variations of terms like '48-pin', 'DIP', 'extension', 'extender', etc. but no luck yet.

Thanks! Unfortunately my soldering skills really suck. It would probably end up being an undependable monstrosity, so I think I'll use the MultiVision in one of my other A500's for now. :-)

Hey, that's not such a bad idea! I'll have to check how much I can raise the Viper without hitting the keyboard. Thanks!!!
