Bulk Lots of DB-19s for Sale
- threeio 1y agoI bought two for my NeXT a bit ago.. crazy how expensive the real DB-19 cables are
- Suppafly 1y agoThat's nice of him to part with some, but I feel like most people would rather buy a few than 1000 of them.
- justsomehnguy 1y agoAnyone unfamiliar with the story check these: https://www.bigmessowires.com/2016/06/04/db-19-resurrecting-an-obsolete-connector/ https://www.bigmessowires.com/2016/06/04/db-19-resurrecting-... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40397593 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40397593
- rasz 1y agoBMOF dropped over $10K into those connectors and even then I wondered why does he think he can recoup that. There isnt enough retro enthusiasts to sell enough Floppy Emu. Its been almost 10 years and sounds like he is still sitting at over 9K spares.
- shlip 1y agoHe's probably got less than 9,000 left according to the article though : > I was able to arrange a “group buy”[...] > Next step: re-ship the majority of these DB-19 connectors to the other people in the group buy.
- justsomehnguy 1y ago>> These DB-19 connectors (19-pin D-SUB) were newly manufactured in 2024 for my vintage computer hardware company There were a couple of re-runs.
- nxobject 1y agoNote that this is only for male DB-19s (i.e. for peripherals). Alas, you'll still have to hoard your battery-bombed vintage motherboards for female DB-19s. (Or hopefully use a physically different but electrically compatible connector...)
- noobermin 1y agoMay be after some success he can decide to sell female db 19 ports
- HeyLaughingBoy 1y agoHuh. This reminds me that I have a box of IDC Centronics printer connectors somewhere. Should see what the going rate is on eBay.
