Wanted: broken Zorro or ISA card - free!?
« on: October 30, 2009, 11:32:44 PM »
I need one (or more) broken Zorro or ISA cards for a project I am working on. I am willing to pay shipping only as I will be cutting off the edge connector as that is the only piece that I need. What I actually need is the card connector edge and about 1 inch of card above the connector. Overall size of card piece is then about 2 inches x 1.5 inches. If you want to cut it off to save postage that would work fine. Probably could send it via lettermail then for even cheaper postage. Card must have all edge connector contacts in place - no missing "teeth".

PM or reply here.

Not sure if it'll help you, but you can buy various ISA riser boards which feature male and female edge connectors on opposite sides of the board.  They're also sold as ISA prototyping and vector boards.  Google can find a source of them for you.

If you specifically want 100 pin edge connectors, Amigakit.com do sell Zorro riser boards and right angle adapators, which are simply a 100 pin male and female edge connectors on a board.

I will check with my electronics supplier to see if they have any ISA prototyping boards. Somehow I doubt it due to age of ISA interface. That's why I thought I would ask here to see if anyone had any broken or otherwise unsalvageable cards.

what are you planning to build? Or is it too early to reveal that you're building the next-gen Amiga :-)

Not quite. Would you believe a slot car controller?
