For some reason, I have a TT memory card (CC-MegTT) with the connector in the wrong direction. :/ It sits 'skyward' so wont let the TT top cover on and also any SIMM modules are into the space where the PSU sits.
I was wondering if anyone knew a source of, or has personally a DIN 41612C 90 degree male to female gender changer/connector?

(I know I can probably solder in a straight connector, but I would rather have the adapter for various reasons).

Many thanks guys!

Or you can desolder the connector (you should have to do it anyway), straight its pins and solder it back.

I think you should get a Storm ram card, every TT owner should support these guys as they are constantly bringing out new upgrades for us. I have the Storm, Thunder IDE and USB now.

Not worth straightening the pins if you remove the connector. You'll never get 3 rows to straighten out perfectly and that's assuming none break. New connector from Digikey and you're good to go.

Dont worry about straightening pins: I can get the straight connector quite easily, just not the M/F right angle extenders. Was trying to avoid the soldering mainly.

And yes, I will get round to buying one of those expansions. Last time I had some spare cash they were unavailable. Ive just recently had a baby boy, so he eats all the money ATM So no new Atari stuff for me for a bit!

Was trying to make do with what I have for now.

That's funny, I look for any excuse to solder I love it. Must've sniffed too much flux fumes...

@Atarian: Despite my best efforts, Im not confident holding an iron
Would probably manage to make a real mess of that VME connector too
