Connectors for swappable control panels
Civilan:
I plan on using a card edge connector with fingerboard as paigeoliver suggested.
BTW, a normal card edge connector is much like an old ISA slot on a motherboard.
I liked this approach because I wouldn't have a cable dangling from the uninstalled control panels.
Cheers,
Civilan.

I don't have dangling wires. The cable fits nicely inside the cp when not in use :)

Hoe:
I used DB37's. They're like a parellel connector, only with 37pins instead of 25. I use the top row of pins for player one, the bottom (smaller row) for player two.
