I deleted an earlier post before its Deep Inner Beauty

it that suggested switching the conductors by simply using two separate
ribbon cables with a straight-through header between them? I like it!
It was Fred Cisin -- good thinking Fred!!! This is *much* simpler than what
I was going to do, and it sure beats doing individual wires. I accidentally
swapped layers on an ISA PCB once, and tried to get it running anyway by
hanging a huge hank of wire wrap wire off of an extender board and soldering
it to the edge fingers on the bad PCB, it took forever and evidently I messed
up at least a wire or two because I never did get the darn thing working, had
to get a fresh PCB made instead in a hurry at great expense (fortunately my
boss was a good sport about it). This is almost as many conductors...
