Hi Art.
If you cannot find one, you can always roll your own (albeit unshielded) using some ribbon cable and one of these: http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/104097.pdf

I'm not so sure - there is something going on in the 40-pin DIP header on those cables as they have different numbers depending on the POD. I suspect grounds are what is varied, but never tested that supposition...

Note the different part numbers for the UUT cables at the bottom of the page...
Hi John. I'm aware of the above. Trust me, people have used the above Jameco part to make a replacement unshielded cable. The shielded cables are a totally different beast, you can still do it but it is a lot more complex as you have twice as many wires so you have to fit a ground bar inside the DIP plug header. I'm curious to know if anyone makes a 64pin DIP plug, Jameco does not. I have a 68000 cable I would like to repair. The only option I know of right now is to fab up a 64 pin version of Paul Swan's pcb. best Tony
