<p>I was dumb enough to put an expansion connector right next to a power
connector of the same size. So far only 2 people plugged power into the
expansion connection. The resulting, um, 'toast' was impressive.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I prototype circuits on standard blank PCB - but have never
learned very much about organized fabrication. I would like to come up with a
simple solution to use 10-pin ribbon wire to connect boards together. I am very
uncertain about the standard sizes, terminology, and best practices, though.
Would people here be willing to share some of their methods? <o:p></o:p></p>
