[Coco] Disk Controllers

[Mark Marlette]

Even the plastic that retains the interconnects are removed at C-9. Then it goes in to a fixture to allow the fabrication so that it will fit in an unmodified EPROM socket.

Did I mention it is no fun making these? Every pin is hand placed, 24+28+ a couple of select pins.....Very time consuming, thus the higher price.

As far as the low-profile pins, I wonder if the adapter from Retro
Innovations would clear the top if you shortened the pins slightly by
clipping them with cutting pliers?  Of course, since they're currently
unavailable, this is currently hypothetical.
