The BEST way to use the demo boards is to install 0.025"sq .1"ctr strips
   into the active IO port holes, then use wirewrapped connections.

Most people today are unfamiliar with wirewrap, but the method is a very
reliable way to make temporary, reuseable connections. This makes the
demo cards endlessly reuseable; I have some from 10 years ago, as
pristine today as the day I bought them.

You can google up wirewrap tools and sources.
