@amigat

That photo is about too tiny to see, but I think you're looking for an "IC Dip socket to ribbon cable connector".

One example....

@amigat

Should be able to get them at Maplin's, they are very common.

However, don't try to use a ribbon cable as an extender for a ROM socket. The conductors are too close together and the cross-talk will cause the machine to crash. You'd have to replace the ribbon cable with twisted-pairs, as I did with my A1000 all those years ago.
