**Curt Palme**

I desperately need someone to build me one or two NEC extender boards. These would be extender boards for the XG and PG series, to get the boards up out of the card cage. Doug Baisey is the only guy I knew that had one, but he wouldn't let them out of his grip (I don't blame him!) and since I believe he's no longer with us, I could really use a set.

I've got the male and female connectors off any number of dead boards and motherboards, someone needs to engineer the 'inbetween' PC board.

I am willing to pay $200-250 for one of these extenders. I'd probably take 2 if the price is right.

Curt,

Can you send me a drawing of these things? Any electronics on there as well?

I'll take a pix of the edge connectors and will post here in the next day or so.

Are those the same connectors as on a NEC switcher? I still should have a few of those. I could send you one to check if it fits, after that the board is easy to make.

I have not heard from Doug in a very long time. I know he had health problems but I was not aware of anything else.

Are the connectors 64 pin?

After some careful counting from the picture, it looks like a 64pin. In that case the connector might be the same as from the NEC-ISS.

costed me 0 euro Smile

, but a lot of time to make.

on the other side there are as many copper wires.

took these of a old marquee vim and etched the board to my needs.

edit:

somewhere in the marquee thread member 1031 wrote down the ordering info for the right angled connectors and the board he used.

this will cost you a certain amount but it won`t cost you 5 hours to make.

this is a 64pin in case you wanted to know.

This is an alternative to an extender card. It can be several feet long so you can bring the board to the workbench. Crimp the female connectors to the cable with a bench vise. Plug a wire wrap male connector into the two female ones. Part numbers if you want.

Scott, the NEC connectors are similar, but different. I've got a set of those for the Marquees and Barcos, but the NEC PG and XG connectors are different, the module contacts are closer together and have a different shape.

That is correct, it is angled, makes it easier to put it on a board, I was more interested if it had the correct pinning.

Hi,

I built extender boards for Barco modules which have served me very well. This evening I might have some time to take a pic. As I want to order some marquee parts from You (Curt) anyway, You could simply throw the required connectors into the box and I'll build the extender boards to Your needs and send them back to You. It happens quite often that people ask me why I'm so pedantic when it comes to work on electronics (cleaning, soldering, testing etc.). Maybe this reflects the type of quality I'm after...

Regards,

Jorge

Nice! Let me spend some time online regarding the connectors (new is always better than used...

Not sure if it's better with a flexible ribbon cable, or a solid PC board. I'll do some investigating...

Curt,

Can you post a picture of the connector?
