We are looking for the standard part of an ISA (or VLB or PCI) 
peripheral card that fits on the card's rear edge and fits into
the ground plane on the back of the computer chassis.  YOU KNOW
the things we mean...don't you?  They are the little metal strips
that all the connectors are attached to.  They help to form the
continuous electrical ground across the back of the computer.
Is there even a proper name for these things?  In any case, I'm
sure everyone knows what I am talking about at this point.  

Well, we need about a thousand of these little things (at a good
price).  It would be helpful to know if they come blank (unpunched)
or punched to fit various coaxial and thinnet connectors.  Can anyone
help us on our quest?
