Paul,
Thank you for your advice. I looked on Digikey and Mouser and and the
connector prices were aprox. $5.00 or more each and i would need 7
connectors. I found a company that makes custom cables and I'm waiting
for their quote.
In the meantime I thought I would check with the group and see what I
could find that I might be saving from a landfill.

General comment on cables like that: in the past I
have obtained flat ribbon cable assemblies from Digikey. If you're dealing with a
cable that's simply a ribbon of width N and a connector at each end, companies like
that can supply them easily and cheaply, in any length you want.
