Hi Guys,
I was playing with my 68000 pod, and wanted to plug it into an outrun board with turned pin sockets....
Obviously the Pod pins are too big to go into the turned pin sockets on the game board, so I used the RED socket supplied which worked nicely....
However, as soon as I removed the red socket, its started to loose its pins......and after trying in a couple of other boards, its pretty knackered now....and in poor shape....
Is there a fairly cheap alternative to this RED socket , before I start making a fancy adaptor up using back to back sockets and replaceable strips of pins...
I'm thinking IC header strips or something ? - Obviously needs to mate with the Turned Pin Sockets, but accept the Fat Pod Pins....
Any ideas appreciated please.....
Cheers, Colin I use 'sacrifice' IC sockets (solder tail) on the UUT end of my pods. Better to break off a socket leg then break off a pin from the UUT connector!
