Project CheeseBall: 030 PDS Connectors & 10x10cm SEEED boards?

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

Going all the way back to dougg3's ROM SIMM programmer's board fitment issues, I've always figured there was no way to fit 40 header pins across a rapid prototyped PCB within the design rules for Gerber/Drill file uploads. Is that correct or might it juuuust squeek by?

If not I figured out an alternate 030 PDS bus connector solution so that a low profile adapter pair from a larger blank might be used in development.



Do edge card connector teeth fall within the design rules? Such can be used as either males or pads for the edge mount termination type female edge card connector. I chose PCIE16x for the board interconnect setup because so much interesting flex-cable and other 1-2U riser stuff is available as what I affectionately describe as the Chinese Jewelry I keep in a great big utz Cheese Balls container. *****

iCrap! Sudden name change for the thread. Looking for a silly pic of my container of choice yielded pic above, as I was saying:

*****Good thing I started using that container later on in the collection game. I'm a sucker for alliteration, so ChineseCheeseBalls© would have been irresistible and less than the proper amount of affection for this cheap as treasure would have been implied.**

** Too late, jewelry just went out the window. I LOVE all these cheap adapters! [] ]'>

What-EVER! Silliness aside, will a EuroDin120 fit across a 100mm x100mm SEEED PCB submission or do we need to SuperSize it?
