Amazon may be another option, especially if you have Prime.  eBay might be 
another.  Do the math though to be sure.

Hello,


Hi,

Does anyone have a REASONABLY priced source for 6" x 14" anti-static 
bags with zip lock tops? I've looked on eBay and Amazon with no 
luck. I have also looked online and have only found heat sealable 
bags. I am not sure if it is the sizing which the issue or what as 
other size bags seems to be easy to find. TIA!


I don't recall 6 x 14 bags, especially with zip lock tops, when I was 
recently looking for a recent need.


Are you wanting to put full sized PC expansion cards in bags?

I ended up buying bigger, (near) 12 x 14 non-zip-lock bags for my full 
sized cards.  I simply wasted part of the bag, or put two cards in with 
a fold down the middle to separate them.


ProTip:  Put the component sides away from each other so that the boards 
lay together best.  --  If you want to, put a piece of card board 
outside the bag between (like jelly) the two cards (bread) as a buffer.

I buy shield bags from Digi-Key, but not the zip-lock style.  I think Uline has 
them.

I bought a few dozen in several sizes, with zip-lock and plain tops, a 
couple of years ago from McMaster-Carr.  Search their site for "antistatic 
bags."

My experience with a H7822 is that when all the diagnostic LEDs stay lit,
DC OK is probably not getting asserted so the power supply might still
not be working 100% correctly.  In the H7822, DC OK seems to be the
purple lead and high (something around 4V-5V) means asserted.



Thanks, but sadly in this case it's not such a simple diagnosis. I had a 
spare 15 mins tonight so I powered it up and checked (DC OK is indeed 
the purple lead). DC OK is sitting at 5.13V so the problem lies elsewhere.


I do have another H7822 in a MicroVAX 3100-80 (iirc, could be -40) and 
that one doesn't start either. I've done nothing with that one at all 
since it has a Dallas chip and so didn't need any remedial work. At some 
point I'll get back to these and spend some time trying to get them 
going. But I need to do some work on a Rainbow and some uV3600 PSUs 
first before I get back to working through uVAX/VS 3100 PSUs (I also 
have 5 H7821 PSUs there, so I expect that I'll be back ...).

Hi Grant,

Yes. Looking for a catch all bag for cards from half to full size ISA/EISA/MCA 
cards. I did find 6x14 heat seal bags but that doesn't work for me. I also 
found some places that do manufacture them but they were all out of stock.

I am currently using 9 x 13 zippered ones. They work fine but cards are not 
snug. However, at $100 for $23 shipped I am not complaining too much.

Not in this size. Most PCIe cards tend to be smaller in length and can be 
significantly thicker (think video cards) so the bags that would have fit ISA 
full length cards are no longer needed/manufactured.
