Why would you need to cut the cable to adapt it to a
PC floppy?
Get some "IDE joiners" which are basically like IDE headers with the
pins twice as long, intended for joining ribbon cables back-to-back.
Snip off six pins, and extend the "proper" ST cable with a ordinary
ribbon cable that you can bodge to fit.
I don't follow you, Gordon. The Atari floppy cable is a male 14-pin
DIN on each end.
All Electronics does have a female 14-pin PCB-mount DIN in stock. It
should be pretty simple to use that for the distant end of the floppy
cable and thence to the appropriate 34-pin header.
