DIL switch

[slashguitar]

Hello,
I need to switch 8 data lines simultaneously ON or OFF. Has anyone seen a DIL switch where all the switches are connected together.
What other alternatives do I have(It needs to be a mechanical switch-low voltage low current)
Thanks

You could glue a bar across all the toggles of a normal dil switch so that they can all be operated as one.

Digikey stock some 4-pole ones, but expensive. As above, a standard switch with maybe a piece of PCB glued carefullt to operate simultaneously.
I have seen 8-way 0.1" jumper blocks, which may be an alternative :

An octal buffer with a single DIP switch connected to the enable pin, would that work?

Not cheap but a pair of 4-poll or 6-poll wafer switches on one shaft?

I'm sure you could once get stacking latching push button switches - my old man used to build studio mixing desks, but the best I can find is this 6-poll Alps

Two of these, or the 4-poll equivalent and some sort of push bar?

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I am going to use the jumper blocks mike suggested
The ones from Alps also look great but they're a bit too big for my application.

Thanks,
