I was just thinking about that this morning :-)
Does anyone have a blueprint which shows the "spec" dimensions?
I could use a micrometer but I thought it must be in a print somewhere.
And, while I'm asking, anyone have thoughts on what will happen to QBUS
or Unibus backplane connector if I put a card with fingers which are
HASL finished (hot air solder layer) as opposed to gold?
The idea is that a production board would have gold fingers but a
prototype might just be "blown solder over copper", i.e. HASL. I'm just
wondering if the solder will damage the backplane fingers. I realize
that over time the solder will form channels and may stop working - I'm
not worried about that for a prototype.
