90 degree card connector?

When cards go onto the back of the zeddy, they're vertical. What I'm after is an edge connector which will allow the card to be horizontal.
Reason I'm looking for this, is to fit into a new case, without having to raise the height internally.
I've tried, but so far I've failed. I can only find the vertical type.
Any ideas please?

Do you mean an adaptor for existing add-ons, or just the female edge-connector socket?

I bought these.
Please note, that any edge connector has closed sides. That means it will not fit the ZX81. You need to cut off the sides with a Dremel or the like, to connect it to the ZX81.

Cheers. I've got some of those ordered. The only other place that seems to stock is Mouser and then there's postage, etc. so not worth ordering from Mouser on their own.
