any STD bus users or developers?

It's very strange--at one time Radio Shack (under their "Archer" 
brand) sold 22/44 position edge-connector prototyping cards, in 
phenolic, rather than FR4 and with tinned, rather than gold-plated 
fingers.  Vector had similar prototype cards as well.  It's kind of 
hard to believe that they're all gone now, since at one time, they 
were very common.
