folks:

	Can anybody provide us with information leading to the purchase
of one of the following:

	- 4- to 8-slot card cage for 4" x 4" cards with 44 pin .135" spacing
	  edge connectors, and somewhere between .5" and .75" between boards?
	  Vector doesn't seem to have anything resembling this; these cards
	  are normally 4.5" wide and 6.5" or so long...

	- failing that, we'll make our own, but we'd like to at least get
	  printed circuit stock backplane with the same dimensions as above.

This is all needed rather urgently; we are currently using a very hacked
solution, and none of the usual places - vendors, distributors, what have
you - have been able to provide us with a full card cage, a wired backplane,
or even bare pc backplane without edge-card connectors.

Any and all pointers to sources for this stuff would be greatly appreciated.
