OK, now that I have my internal Mac Plus disk drive back--and have lost the connector cable--somebody please tell me which lines to cut on an SE ribbon so I can use it instead! I've been sur5ing on a Fujitsu external floppy drive, which I heartily recommend. It's got (1) an access light (b) a *real* eject button (iii) quiet operation (4) an 18-month warranty. And it's cheap! Buy American when I can, Alex

Counting the wires on the ribbon cable, start with the end that has the colored
stripe on it and call that wire #1. Then cut #9 and #20.
If you are not sure what end to start with, look on the connectors for a
small arrow. That should signify pin #1.
