All you need to do is take 4 lengths of wire-wrap wire (or something
similar) and join together all the pins that connect to the BC1
fingers, all the BD1, all the BE1, and all the BF1.

If you can view (or print) PostScript files there's a diagram showing
the finger layout at

QBusConns.ps is actual size, QBusConnsBig.ps is somewhat larger. I
expect there are text lists of the signals/fingers around the web too.

If you plan to use a processor with PMI memory you might also want to
link AF1 on the first (top) slot to AF1 on the slot (or two slots)
immediately below. That's the SRUN connection; without it the RUN LED
won't light.
