I can understand not having the parts to hand (I'd have to really hunt
for a DG23 connector, in fact I'd probably take cutting tools to a DB
shell...), but not being able to find a soldering iron, wire strippers,
and a screwdriver. Now that _is_ unbelievable!

And before you say 'but I'm a software person', let me point out that I'm
not a programmer, but still know where K&R, the C compiler, Z80 and 6502
assembler reference manuals, the assembler and compiler disks for many of
my 8 bit machines, etc, etc are...
