[sdiy] Roland M16C / M64C memory module - Connectors

[sleepy_dog at gmx.de]

Hehe, yeah, PCB card edge is my plan B, too, but the slot width must be 
rather thick compared to usual PCBs:

If that PCB is something like 1.5mm, you'd have to make a super thick 
PCB to get the same pressure of contact springs, judging from how thinck 
that connector looks.
I don't think my cheapo PCB maker can do that.
