Hi Marcus,
       Samtec manufacture the part you need. The spec for it can be found
at the web address I've included. They are very good and for a one off they
might do an f.o.c. sample.

       Go to www.samtec.com 

Select Product search by Product Picture
Select Sockets and Adapters
Select More D.I.P Sockets and Adapters
Select APA Series D.I.P Adapters

There is a PDF catalogue page that will give you all the information that
you need.

Sorry the explanation of where to find the info is rather insulting, but
there isn't a unique address for the page.

               Hope this Helps,

                       Andrew Chesterton

Thanks John

The WATFORD Sideways ROM/RAM Docs were indeed there
and I already had the Shadow RAM docs. I still need to
repair the damaged extended header. I've thought about
de-soldering it and putting a wire-wrap socket in and
that in turn plugged into a standard socket, just to
get the height. But, that would be messy, prone to
zx81 ram pack wobble and lets face it poor
engineering. 

Maplin,rubbish spares (RS) and Farnell do not stock
this peculiar device. Can anyone help?

Regards

Marcus
