the pin 34 wire. It could always be soldered back together.
In my junk pile(s), I have those adapter thingees (technical term),
34, 40, 50 pin cables with some wires cut and switches soldered in,
cables with breadboards, cables with 34 SPST switches, drives with cable
connector mods, FDC cards with connector mods, etc.
I've got half a dozen totes just for 34 pin cables.
Anybody with a junk pile should be able to locate something that can be
kludged to do the job. If you have NO junk pile, then you're on your
own. (YOYO)
