I was just about to post that you might find it easier - and save the cost of a female edge connector - if you just wired up your PC stuff to one of Bob Roberts' fingerboards, then you can plug/unplug that into the game's harness.
But then I realized, you can wire all the PC stuff to a female edge connector with quick-disconnects - no soldering required. Then, use a fingerboard between this connector and the game's harness. Geez, I went about mine the hard way. Particularly since I'm not all that great at soldering. Or at least I wasn't before. I got plenty of practice with this project.
I'm still eventually planning to build the printer port hardware to cut signals to the monitor - perhaps when I do that I'll rewire my harness as well, since I'll have to take apart at least the video parts....
