You cna crimp these connectors (presumably 34 pin header socket or edge 
connector and 50 pin edge connector) in a bench vice. And how anyone can 
do serious hardware hacking without a vice is beyond me (s/vice/vise/ 
across the Pond, I believe).

Should work fine. I've passed floppy drive signals through an old, 
random-wired printer switchbox without problems (!).
