Well, if the DC37 has the same shell size as a DC62, then I get just get that

bracket. JDR Microdevices sells those.

Oh, that might be a problem. This card is a homebrew card. Apparently,
the designer (where I got the card from) might have sent the designs to
be produced. Only two of these cards were ever fabricated.

I was thinking about doing that. I have a cheaper thin (tin-based) bracket
that is easy to cut. But for $0.99 it wasn't really worth doing it. Do you
have
the spec on where it should belong?

Maybe you are right. The guy who gave me the card said it was from a
UK-based
distributor names RS Semiconductors. Thanks for the info
