Same here. I scrounged up some Pertec compatible controller cards
from this list and was offered a power cable for my Fujitsu drive, but
the power cable never arrived. So I still need a Fujitsu power cable
and the pertec interface cables.
Are these cables straightforward enough that they could be made new
from flat ribbon cable and suitable connectors?
Depends on what you have on each end. E.g., my controller has
a funky D connector on it :-/
But, the data rates are quite low so maybe something like
twisted pair ribbon ("rainbow ribbon"?) would work nicely.
IIRC, all of the odd numbered pins were ground, etc. And,
the lines are driven with, e.g., LS38's. I'd have to dig
out a service manual for anything more specific...
