Subject: Master keyboard cables

Just going through my spares (brought a MOS rom of ebay a few days ago) 
and now I have (just) enough to assemble a complete M128, minus case :( 
, but that's not important at this stage.

But anyway I have no keyboard cable for one side, (it was missing for 
some reason off the spare keyboard) , I have both main pcb connectors 
though.

I was thinking of just using a small length of old ide / floppy cable 
for this (and just removing the un-needed strands from the ribbon) and 
changing the other side too (as that's very weak by the looks of it so I 
might as well do that half too)

Or is there a better alternative for this that I might of overlooked ? , 
not tried to see if the ide cable will be ok on the idc pins on the 
connector yet either, I expect it will be ok though ?

Thanks.


Andy. :)
