Well, I would have put it alongside, like:
AB 11111__22222
CD 33333__44444
EF 55555__66666 etc.
Doh! Of course. You can get IDC dip plugs too - made for plugging
into a socket or protoboard - don't use .025 pins.
I've always just stripped and tinned the ends of the ribbon
cable, and plugged it right in.
Cheers!

But the problem IMHO is really that you have to span the 0.3in gap between
arrays to get all signals to the board.
The contacts on the board are thus:
11111__22222
33333__44444
55555__66666 etc.
If you stick your header into the left column then you connect odd & even
wires.

The DIP type connectors can straddle the gap between columns.
