With several H851s... I got a board set a while back, but no way to
interconnect the boards. That's the biggest pain when dealing with
quad-high OMNIBUS boards.

Going from scratch, I'd recommend using a dual-height prototype card
and adding your own connectors to it. There's a source of them for
a few $$$ ($25?) but I can't find it right now.

40 each. Not even shielded (on my RKV11D).

Yep.
