you can use a ribbon cable for an IDE/PATA hard drive, or a floppy disk 
drive, they have more than enough pins.

if there are too many pins you can just hacksaw off the extras.  Just 
don't cut too close to the last row you need - leave an extra full row 
just to be safe.  And then glue the cut end of the ribbon cable clip so it 
doesn't pull off when you forget you cut it.
