I need some of these for making Diablo disk drive cables. Mouser/Digikey, etc. have a
minimum buy of 500 (at $9 ea).

Anyone see any at any surplus places? Online searches are pretty much useless because
of the extremely common 40 pin male IDC plug, and my searches in the valley have come
up empty.

Farnell _used_ to sell them, but now claim 'no longer manufactured' :-(
When I needed one years ago (and RS/Farnell didn't take private orders), I ended
up separating the ribbon cable into individual wires and soldering each one into
the right PCB hole...

Hmmm, Digi-Key used to make cables to order with this type
of termination. Surprised they don't have the parts anymore.

I know I've bought these in the past 3 years at Excess Solutions (www.
*excesssolutions*.com).
They used to be close to where I work in Milpitas but now they're south of
downtown San Jose in a trucking warehouse
and not as easy to visit.

I'll check again, but I didn't see them.
They have turned a lot of stock, or didn't put it out after they moved to San Jose
I may have to ask Mike if he's seen any.

Yup, they still got em! I had to look in the last paper
catalog the sent in 2011. The part number at Digi-Key is
CPC40S, no idea if the row spacing matches the board you
need, but they have them in stock.
