If you don't mind sharing, which supplier is it?  Is the connector
plating hard gold over nickel? How many microns (or micro-inches) of
each?

Many of the PCB fab companies I've queried either won't do hard gold
at all, or not for short runs, or charge a fortune.

I intent to make some short-run boards for the Apple II and Intel
Multibus in the not too distant future, and while a non-gold edge
connector is OK for one or two prototypes, it's not satisfactory for
general use.
