You can simply cut a 50 pin ribbon cable in half then strip all 50
wires and solder then to a piece of perf board.  It would be a great
deal of work but there is not reason you can not make you one BOB.
They are pretty low-tech.

I asked around about making PCBs in a milling machine and this is the
kind of thing I want to do.  Low-tech single sided boards that are
physically large.

There is actually a big advantage to NOT using a commercial BOB at
all.  Better I think to have a custom design that eliminates the
"rat's nest"  In the past I've made these by hand but it takes hours.
I just hand build a controller that has connecters for computer inout
in one end and motor in the others, done point to point on perf borad.
Never again.  I'll rout a PCB next time.
