For that matter, since the connectors are insulation displacement type, you can assemble
your own: buy the connectors and a length of table, cut pieces to size, and assemble the
connectors onto the cable. A press is normally used for that, but a vise should do the
job too.

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.

Does anyone out there have a spare 1/2 high 5 1/4" Seagate MFM hard drive face plate
(ST-221, ST-251, etc.) that they can let go cheap?
And also a 34 conductor dual drive cable and a single 20 on single drive cable?
Thank you.
