I prefer trough hole for now.

Edit: I need the drives for tristating the bus too, so I can have another device access the bus.
Please see attached for a suggestion.

Nice, but looking on ebay they tend to be a bit expensive.
Is there an electronics distributor in your area that might be able to get it for you at a more reasonable cost?

An alternative would be to use Thevenin termination, which is just a bunch of resistors. The 74ABT245 transceivers you are using can source 32ma and sink 64ma, which gives you some leeway in choosing appropriate resistor values. For a start, I would try 220 ohms from the '245 outputs up to Vcc and 330 ohms from the '245 outputs to ground. That combination would produce a characteristic impedance of around 100 ohms on each signal.

You could use discrete resistors (1/4 watt carbon film recommended) or a resistor array. I use the latter on my SCSI host adapter for bus termination.

That would be ok if I only had 74ABT245 as siganl sources, other modules might have different characteristics.
I tried sending an email to unicornelectronics to see if they had them, but their mailbox is full. :(

In that case, Schottky diodes (discrete or array) would probably be your best bet.
