Yes, the Star Trek cockpit boardset has a connector mount (similiar to what
you see mounted on a Converta-cabniet wall) on the card cage itself, where
J1, J2, and J3 Mate-n-lock connectors are female, and the cabinet plugs into
it via male connectors. I assume that you do not have the Star Trek
boardcage which has these mounted on it. Send me an e-mail, I should be
able to set you up.
