Paul,
The connectors are about $5 apiece and I would need 7 connectors. I
have the cable and tool.
My goal for asking was to see if anyone had a spare cable or two and
save them from eventually going in the land fill.
Thank you for your help,
Mike

For that matter, since the connectors are insulation displacement type, you can
assemble your own: buy the connectors and a length of table, cut pieces to
size, and assemble the connectors onto the cable. A press is normally used for
that, but a vise should do the job too.

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.
