[Coco] Gold Plating the Tin Card Edge Fingers of Old Coco Paks, MPIs, etc.

[Kip Koon]

Brian,
I would be interested in a few of these boards.  I have two MPIs giving me
trouble and a third one still in storage which I haven't found yet that
might need one too.  I also have a few old Color Computer Controllers that
work now, that also could use some gold contacts as well.  Thanks for making
these known to us..
Kip

The Glenside Fest is going to offer the Glenside IDE boards very cheap.
I have some non-functioning boards that the gold plated connector end could
be soldered to card edges.
A picture is attached as a PDF, this is the only way I could make it small
enough.
Also make them into a plug in prototype board. Be creative.
