You can get an 8-slot backplane kit (PCB and 8 DIN connectors and 2 
power connectors) for 32,18 polish currency units, which is slightly 
under $10 USD.  These are 64-pin rather than 96 pin, but it is a start 
and it is dirt cheap.  Might this do the job we are trying to accomplish

if we are dropping the LVDS stuff on the backplane?  We can do a group 
buy and save on the shipping costs.

I suspect there are several other hobbiest bus backplanes based on the 
DIN connector standard floating around on the web that are easy to
procure.

Just stirring the pot,
