4582.0. "Looking for a drive cable" by ULTRA::KINDEL (Bill Kindel @ LTN1) Mon Mar 11 1991 08:40

    The Memory Location got a bunch of Quantum drives in this week and was
    offering the Quantum 100S for $450.  After no small amount of inner
    turmoil (and Bruce Moore chuckling in the background 8^), I broke down
    and bought one to replace the 20MB AT drive that came in my A590.
    
    I need two things in order to finish installation.  The more important
    is a (cheap) source for the ribbon cable that connects the controller
    to the drive.  It has a 50-pin IDC connector at each end, but only uses
    one row of pins.  It looks like I can get the parts from You-Do-It or
    Active Electronics to make my own, but a pre-fab would be nice.
    
    Second would be a specification sheet for the Quantum 100S (even a copy
    thereof).  I'd really like to know what the various jumpers do so I can
    set it up properly.
