The Grappler + doesnt have a backplane connector, it has a 20pin .100 
spacing double row connector with a canle that mates the 20 pin to a 
Centronics parallel.  I personally like the Grappler over the AE (plus 
they are still in business).  Making a backplane connector shouldnt be to 
hard and if you are smart would configure the DB-25 to comform to the IBM 
parallel printer pinouts and use a ready-nade cable from there.
