[Coco] CoCo experimenter/prototyping board

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

I found this way to prototyping:

Basically:

a 40 pin male edge connector with L pins (sullins brand found at digikey or
future electronics)
an IDE cable (check if all pins are connected)
an IDE female connector with long pins where I bent to fit the two
protboard sections

The ide cable you have to cut and reassembly at desired length.

The prototype works fine even if its connected to an Y cable.
