Re: modifiable backplane with sockets?

What are you building?

I built small analog computer recently:

I was considering maybe doing a version two of this project. I'd like to
have little card modules (integrator modules, etc) that connected to the
backplane via sockets of some kind. And also the cables going to the
patch panel(s) would connect to sockets. These would be tied together
via wiring on the backplane. I was hoping I could keep the backplane as
generic and cheap as possible, so I didn't have to figure out in advance
exactly how I wanted to wire up the module<->patch panel connections,
and also so I could change said wiring in the future without having to
reprint the backplane.

I don't like using offshore PCB printing, even though it is cheaper. I
like OSHPark, but they are more expensive and have a three board minimum
print for any single design.
