The BC80J-20 has the 40-pin header on one end and enough flat ribbon

BTW, Continental Computers answered my quote request with they can
"let it go for $145"... that's about four times what I expected to pay

I'm looking for a BC80J-20 cable...
that's the one that goes from the
RL controller card to the first drive, with a 40 pin header on one
end
and that big quick-release connector on the other end.
(I am tired of failures and damage to the rigged ribbon cable/IDC
header I've been using, and now that I'm chasing a fault in my
two-RL02 system, I can't swap drives without taking the cover off to
get to the header connectors inside).
I think I'm looking for one of these as well. Or maybe someone here
can
point me to what I really want :-)
I have an RL02 driver and an RL02 controller, but I seem to have
lost/misplaced the "cabinet kit". I could swear I had one at one
point.
So, the RL02 drive has a terminator and a nice long round cable which
seems to have a 2x.1" header. But I believe I need the cable part
which
is normally install on the cpu cabinet. My guess is it would cable a
shielded ribbon cable with a connector for the board header and the
other end would have a metal bracket and something to mate with the
nice
round cable...
Is this even close?
