Step 4Spit and Polish
The board works now but, its ugly. Using epoxy I gluded my new board to a small piece of plastic. This makes the board look better and protects the back from shorts. I used a small piece of metal (strap from shipping bricks great stuff and free) to form a 9V battery holder and glued it to the board as well. I soldered a couple of wires to the back of an old 9V battery top to form a 9V battery clip. I covered it with epoxy to prevent shorts as well. For style points I dye my epoxy for battery clips with a drop of black acrylic paint. Not too much or it will get all jacked up and not cure properly.
Before someone says it: yes it will fit in an Altodis box and I know that the solder job wasn't the best.
That being said my I constructed my first project on the board!

Why not use SCSI connectors ? and use the cable too. You could use a 2" piece of SCSI cable stack 8 connectors, one right next to the other and have a total of 16 X 50 pins in 16 pin rows.

I will never throw away a (whole) 9V battery again! Why didn't I think of that?
