heck yeah, on the pcb steve.

I guess i'm a square peg in a round hole kinda guy...

I chuckled last night when i realized the same thing.

let me say that at least for my application it does work...

the plug i made does naturally seem to pop on pretty smoothly.

and it stays in.

so i was thinking i could also just use 2 single inline headers one for the bottom one for the top.

then just use 2 little drops of super glue to bond that together.   

solder the wires, then apply some 5 minute epoxy, then shrink tube over that.

maybe your next pcb run you could experiment with a little pcb with a DB20 male on it for the floppy emu.

and then we can do some real world testing for the floppy emu. I don't think you are going to have any resistance issues.

and the power draw of your device is so little there will not be a amperage issue considering the square edges are making the contact

instead of a round edge.

or maybe do an angled db20 connection then the floppy emu could plug in and be 90 degree? as well  

and like i said just use 2 rows of single inline.   one 10 pins one 9 pins and solder then to your pcb.
