Check items RC10 (ribbon cable), CC10 (the connectors that you crimp
onto the cable) and ML10 (the connector on the PCB). The ML10 connectors
have standard spacing, so you can use a standard sea-of-islands type
prototype board. If you use a solderless breadboard DB016 has
'wire-cups' so you can insert wires directly. Or use a DB014.

Yes, but I am not satisfied with it: it has its connector on the keys
side, which makes front mounting impossible. I will redesign it for
connectors at front or back, with different keys, and maybe some more
things.

But I also have a 'telephone' 3x4 keypad: just connect it!

Jal has nothing to do with it, that's just a compiler, except that I
provide some Jal libraries taylored to the DB's. You can use ZPL to
download code made by any compiler/assembler, as long as you don't try
to be overly clever with the first few instructions (check the ZPL
documentation).
