<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.</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>
