I'd like to start using the SD card stuff but I'm having some difficulty tracking down a supplier of SD card sockets. Does anyone know where I can get them? I know that Toby Electronics do them, but they seem to be the surface mount type and I'd like a through board connector if I can get one.
Many thanks.

I suspect that they will all be surface mount - all the ones I have seen are. However, the pin spacing is huge and for most pins matches the 2.54 mm pitch of a lot of through board connectors. I don't think that you would have much difficulty putting solid wire through holes and then soldering the surface mount tabs to these.

Thanks for your reply Steve. Putting wires through the board was an idea I missed. I'll give the surface mount stuff a go.
By the way, your backup plugin & monochrome image converter have become indispensable around here. Thanks for those, much appreciated.
Very best regards.

Just as an update - CPC stock a good range of SD card sockets, including through PCB connectors.
They are reasonably priced, but the shipping charge is outrageous unless your order is over £25.
Very best regards.
