YUP!
That's exactly what I was after!

I've tried every computer shop in two towns, and most of the free
world via internet.

I need a couple of dozen of these, but I don't know what to call
them.

You know those twisted pair wires on a DIP header?

Like the ones used to connect LEDs and switches to a computer
motherboard?

I've been googling all over creation, but lack the definitive term
to describe them.

Anybody out there have a clue? Or a box full of 'em?

This is the sort of thing "computer shows" would be perfect for. I
haven't seen an ad for one in a long time, however.

The Dallas "First Saturday" flea market / show has been going on now
for well over 30 years. Since the 70s in fact, so nearly 40 years?

I'm planning to go down for it on the 5th (assuming my pay check comes in)
(assuming the government is still solvent then?)

I sold a lot of surplus stuff there 30 years ago.
One day, the guy next to me had a kitchen sink...


I need to get several things, but have to watch nickels and dimes.
(pennies get sold for scrap metal value these days)

A couple of LED monitors for this desktop box (will have three then )
One will do double duty as target system debug display, but I got spoiled
(damned quick too) by a multi screen machine a while back.
It's just too nice to have a couple of pages of reference stuff up where
you can just glance at it.

Wish list"
a small oscilloscope ( 20 mhz dual trace will be fine for what I'm doing)
Some small passive parts - Rs an Cs and sockets and such,
a selection of small solenoids,
and, if I can find one, a piano hammer.
