RE: Recommendations for single row pin headers

>> My impression is that any other kind of pins except those on a real IC or
those on the cheap budget sockets will ruin the holes in a budget socket,

machined socket between the CIA and the existing budget socket.

There are pin types made for this purpose that do not damage sockets. From
my research it seems that the pin diameter is about 0.018" (0.46mm) to
0.020" (0.5mm) in the headers made for this purpose. These are not
inexpensive parts to buy a few at a time though.

1200 you could connect the adapter on the data cable (and power
cable) to the drive, and just use one of those spring loaded hook clamps for
the pin on the CIA that selects DF1.

I do not like the spring-loaded hooks. They are OK when used for testing
purposes but make for a lousy long term solution, IMHO.
