I need to connect a DB25 connector to a breadboard. One way I can think of is buying a solder-cup connector (e.g. http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/171-025-103L001/225ME-ND/858135) and wiring it to the breadboard, but I would like a cleaner and more trusty solution. (e.g. discontinued: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/8552)
Does anyone have experience?
Thanks, S

What about using a short length of ribbon cable to combine a DB25 IDC connector 
with a 28-pin IDC DIP socket
Clamping the IDC parts onto the ribbon cable takes a little care (make sure the 'knives' are correctly lined up over the wires in the ribbon), but I've done it in a small bench vice many times with a better than 99% success rate.
