"Plug and Play" adapter for PDP-11/70 panel - BlinkenBone update

[steven at malikoff.com]

That's really nice! Looking at your photos there seems to be an ability to
re-jumper the console ribbon cable on your new board, if so would it be able to
be then used with other original PDP-11 consoles?

I am doing up the CAD model for the 11/05 console (it's really quite a simple
shape) and its switch register board so anyone could print it off and have an
accurate full-scale replica (C&K switch paddles done already).

Steve.
