I have a way to make it fit. It's not as clean as yours but it works and it's free and you don't have to wait for it to arrive.<p>The problem this 20-something pin cable is that it won't fit on the 40 pin header on the B+ because the plastic assembly is too long on one side. A way to make it shorter is to break the clip that is on the side that won't fit. It's also a way to get a polarized plug! I broke apart a couple of old ribbon cables first to make sure this method wasn't going to damage the Pi Wedge's cable, and it doesn't. It won't tear apart unless you try to. Of course, intentionally breaking the cable means you cannot return it to Sparkfun, but I don't mind, it fits now.</p></p>

The 26-pin ribbon cable won't plug directly into the new 40-pin connector - the new pins interfere with the housing. You could use a 2x13 stackable header as a riser, and plug the ribbon into that.</p></p>

I ordered 200 scrap boards a little while ago and got 200 of these without all the other components. They work really well as PCB holders for SMD soldering. I was wondering when they were going to show up on the site.</p>
