Paul,

Thank you for your advice.  I looked on Digikey and Mouser and and the connector prices were aprox. $5.00 or more each and i would need 7 connectors.  I found a company that makes custom cables and I'm waiting for their quote.

In the meantime I thought I would check with the group and see what I could find that I might be saving from a landfill.

General comment on cables like that: in the past I have obtained flat ribbon 
cable assemblies from Digikey.  If  you're dealing with a cable that's simply a 
ribbon of width N and a connector at each end, companies like that can supply 
them easily and cheaply, in any length you want.

Does anyone out there have a spare 1/2 high 5 1/4" Seagate MFM hard drive face 
plate (ST-221, ST-251, etc.) that they can let go cheap?

And also a 34 conductor dual drive cable and a single 20 on single drive cable?

Thank you.
