Subject: DEC flat cables
Has anyone found a good method for repairing the DEC flat cables?
The ones with flat wires with plastic laminated to each side. The glue
holding the plastic on fails and you end up with two sheets of plastic and
loose wires.
For low speed signals. I just replaced the flexprint with modern ribbon
cable. Seems to work just fine.

ribbon cables in VAX systems with Unibus
