DIN41612 connectors are the type used in Multibus-II, VME and SUN, MAC-II's
NuBus, etc. They have a matrix of 3 rows of 32 holes in the socket, of
which you can buy connectors which only have the outer rows populated. This
means that there remain 64 holes, 62 of which would be occupied by a
wire-wrap (2-level) ISA-8-bit connector. This would allow placement of the
"daughter" board close to the S-100 board's surface and permit fitting it
into a single slot of the S-100, provided the end-plate were removed. They
can be had in either straight or right-angle versions, though the
right-angle normally sits on the circuit card while the straight versions
are mounted to the backplane. That's why I suggested that the gender would
have to be reversed.
