A bracket to mount the parallel and game ports to the IBM PC 5150 without wasting a valuable slot. Uses two of the existing power supply bolts to hold it to the back of the chassis. The ribbon cables enter the case through a gap in the chassis top cover. 

It would be a good idea to ground the metal casing of the ports in case you are connecting peripherals that require that and prevent any grounding/EMI issues. The easiest way I found to do this was using some small spade connectors and sandwiching them between the printed piece and the port and securing them both with the standoffs. Then ground it to somewhere on the chassis.
