I plan to build one hopefully to confirm (or not) that my TPDD drive is OK and the original cable is bad. The drive gives intermittent results which I think might be related to a bad cable or connector - it could be the header on the drive PCB. Hoping this cable will provide the necessary answers. As well as test out the design.
If it works I might build up the other two OSH Boards so with your cables should be able to bring some TPDDs back into service :) All the parts are here just need some free hours to build and test the cable.
