Instead of the male pins on the rear of the adapter, would a 16 pin
DIL to 16 pin DIL ribbon cable attached to the front make it easier to
install?



I thought that too, but then you'd have to mount the board somewhere
else, so the way it is seems the simplest approach to me.


I've used that approach on a gameport device that stuck out too
far to the right (since they moved the port on the //e).

I used a piece of double-stick foam to secure the small board to
the side of the case, and it worked fine.
