Ever heard of a soldering iron? Tack solder a piece of wire wrap wire onto
the appropriate spot on the board and either cut the trace going to the edge
connector or cover it with a piece of non conductive tape. Run the wire to
another board that has the interrupt line and attach. (Serial cards are good
candidates for this, they usually have a large range interrupt options and
often selection is made with a jumper. The jumper post is convienent for
wiring wrapping.)
