I know I can use any length of ribbon I want. What I'd like to know is
what it was when it was new. (and it's 34 pin card-edge connectors that
are needed :) )
Yes, I mispoke on both the number of conductors and the type of
connectors. I jumped to the next question too soon. Sorry!
I forwarded a later version to you that does.

Nothing magic. the last one I had used was from a PC.
I was after the length of the cable and their locations on it.
What hard-drive are you using? If it is a SCSI drive? Is it
set to ID=0? If so, choose either Seagate or Maxtor and give
that a try.
The drive is a Miniscribe 8425S and AFAIK, it's set to ID 0 with the
terminating resistors installed. Seagate or Maxtor is not listed as a
_controller_ choice when HFORMAT is run.
