Re: Does the Db-19 D Sub 19 pin connector exist ANYWHERE??

Hi,

I bought a heap through a broker for a board im developing. On the
invoice it stated it came from connectorworld. On their website they
have more info ( here -
http://www.connectworld.net/cgi-bin/hello-cables/scan/sf=code1/se=db19-connectors/sf=code/se=db19-connector-parts
)
They are the classic solder bucket type, but plug up to apple's drives
very well. I made a small PCB to auto terminate the 19 connectors.
Otherwise its a solder fest getting all 19 connected. I couldnt locate
an IDC type anywhere, but if you find one, id be greatful if you could
let me know.
