Replace the card reader?

Hi.
I got hold of a beatup MV-IC board with tons of bent pins in the actual card reader.
3 pins broke off when straightening.
I've googled for a replacement but is it just me or is the pinout on the solder side reversed to all readers out there?
Has anyone replaced the 68-pin reader?
If someone could point me to a replacement part it would be awesome.
Thanks.

looking for replacement.

I think I need to se a proper picture to get how that works... Has he sold any yet?

In the meantime I'd still like some replacement options.. Cheers!

No boards have been ordered yet, but in the next few weeks I'll have them. It works exactly like the originals, the board is just much smaller.

Unfortunately there are no real replacement options. The actual PCMCIA slot on the original SNK ones are impossible to find. The ones you do easily find have an different pin pattern and cannot be soldered to the original MVIC.

Your only options are to find another MVIC or wait for the replacement board.
