SE/30 Troubleshooting Aid -J12 Jumper

They're standard Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connectors. I actually bought one because I am terrible at crimping cables, but it's not particularly demanding to make one.
I made an extension cable with about $20 worth of parts from Digikey. It makes troubleshooting much more convenient as I don't have to reinstall the board between each test.

I used two packages of these and some 24 gauge wire. The connectors as well as the metal pins are included. I used a pair of pliers to crush the metal tabs onto the wires. I have no idea what the correct way to do this is, but it worked fine for me. I'm sure there is an expensive professional tool to crimp these correctly, but my pliers got the job done eventually.
