PC Boards for ALDL

[Andrew K. Mattei]

That's the 20 pin cap-less version, right? Well, I'm trying to reduce costs
more than anything, and the 233's were almost twice as expensive as the
232's from DigiKey, IIRC. Capacitors are cheap, and I do have enough real
estate on the board for the small ones.

Now, here's a question for the list: anyone know where to get ALDL
connectors - OBDI and OBDII? The only easy way I know how to get them is to
buy an AutoXray cable and hack the end off of it. If I could find another
source that's cheaper (AutoXray is $30, add some $$ for shell), that would
be *greatly* appreciated!
