Connectors with straight pins would be useless for a Nubus card I would think.
Yes, that's exactly the problem. I carefully looked at the Item Descriptions for the connectors I bought. Correct family. Yep? Correct row and pin count? Yep. Etc. Didn't think about or was confused about right angle vs. straight.
It doesn't help that the convention is to list the gender of the *pins*, not the gender of the *housing*. So the connector on a NuBus card, that's male, even though the logic board connector fits into the card connector. Because the NuBus card connector has the pins that stick out and go into holes in the logic board connector. And the logic board connector is female, because it has holes for the pins.
So, I may have paid attention to right angle vs. straight, I don't remember exactly any more, but the gender designation may have messed me up.
Generally if I think I will need some part and the price is way below normal pricing I tend to snag it (in quantity). Thing is I don't have the expertise to design a Nubus card so they are useless to me. I figured somebody here could use them, and the price seems super cheap.
Those are super cheap. And very tempting. Especially because parts for that era aren't likely to turn up again. This could be a get it now or not at all kind of deal.
Most of my interest is in PDS cards though. If one is going to build a modern card for old machines, modern components allow unreal performance in the old machines. Limiting the bandwidth of the new card with NuBus seems counterproductive.
