Looking for a floppy drive cable with an edge connector that is not keyed

[jasa1063]

I am looking for floppy drive cable with an edge connector that is not keyed to go with the pictured adapter. Does anyone know where one could be sourced from?

Keying in edge connectors is normally just a plastic tab/wedge that is added, removed, or repositioned with a pair of needle-nose pliers. So any floppy cable that otherwise works should be easily modifiable to work with your controller.

Some of the later commodity edge-connectors have the key molded in. I haven't tried, but I suspect that they can be broken out.

Like he said. Just pull out the key.

Tried that but it is molded so far into the plastic I ended up breaking the pins and the connected.

I already threw those out, but I found this, so I think this should do.

If it was me, I'd cut a slot into the card edge with a dremel or modeling saw.

I modded a couple over the years with a straight razor blade...

That is probably where I went wrong. I tried wire cutter and broke the plastic. I will give this a try instead.

Thanks!
