Well the trip was actually to pick up a dual RX01 floppy drive from John
Lawson in Los Angeles, the trip from LA to San Diego was to visit one of my
friends who lives there.

I found the connectors during a junk scrounge with my friend.

They have 1/2" solder tails, and can be used to make the edge connectors
with a suitable small circuit board. I'll have to make the circuit board
myself.

I can dig up the name of the place if you need it.
