| 28pin IDC / ribbon cable conectors do not exist? |

| Yansi:
Hello, just evaluating a possible project of ROM emulation, which requires to replace functionally a 28pin DIP IC. I thought well, easy enough, I can use a flat ribbon cable PCB connector and stick it in instead of the original chip, then use a 28pin ribbon cable and terminate it in the other PCB using ... well a 28pin IDC socket. Unfortunately it seems 28pin IDC sockets (either PCB or for the cable) like these do not exist, wtf?! Or have I just not looked hard enough? |

So use a 34 pin one. |
| Yansi:
Wouldn't that look kind of .. lame? having a 34pin IDC connecter, while only 28 pins would be used? (On the other side, I could place there some signals "reserved for future use"..) Or are there any other connector options for flat ribbon cables, that would play nicely with 28 pins? Thanks |

If it works and is easy and uses off the shelf components, do you care? |

Add more grounding and power if its needed. Space the grounds every few pins to reduce RFI. |
