If I can find the IDC connectors, I may try that first.

No problem with soldering, for crimping IDC connectors: before I got a
crimper I used vises, for a vise with metal jaws I put in blocks of wood
for cushioning. I wondered
why he shipped it with only one insert, but if both heads
move in concert, that makes more sense.
From the factory it only came with one, when you retain one head the
other is held by the same yoke. S100 disk controllers are easy to get, Herb sells
them. A Persci
controller should work just fine with any SA800 drive but may require
software changes and maybe one jumper (-TEST on 179X controllers).
Very cool. I can't wait to get the Cromemco home.
So many toys; so little time....
