[Kip Koon]

Hi Guys!

As promised here are links for several pictures of the connector by itself
and installed on a Tandy Color Computer Disk Drive Controller FD-500:

The first 4 pictures are various views of the connector installed on the
FD-500 controller and the last 2 pictures are of the connector by itself.  I
tried to get a good close up of the connector from two different angles, but
they are fuzzy, one more than the other.  I hope you can basically tell what
I’m trying to illustrate here.  It sticks out about ¼” to 3/8” of an inch
further, but considering how far the cartridges insert into the Coco slot
and the MPI slots, it should be OK.  When I get it soldered, I’ll let you
guys know the results.  Yes, reliability problems will hopefully become a
thing of the past!  Take care my friends.
