I dont think you get the final cable anywere easy..
But if its only 1:1 (you have to messure a good one) you can get the cable and seperate connectors from any good electronics store (online..) I dont know wich one you have in your area but http://www.farnell.com/ is a good start....
Topic: Need Avalon Ribbon (signal) cable how to find NON-IDE? (Read 1113 times)
Well,you were a big help 
If you know so much,then where can he GET one
Just kiddin
But seriously,where can he find one?

But seriously,where can he find one? 40 pin cable is 40 pin cable,right??.... & the wires aren't "crossed" in the ribbon or near either end,are they??
Glad you don't have an Avalon and need a cable!
This:
2 points:
1, keep the case closed.
2, the 40pin ribbon cable our using is not IDE cable. IDE cables have some internal connect.

40 pin cable is 40 pin cable,right?? As long as you don't "reverse" either side you should be good...............& the wires aren't "crossed" in the ribbon or near either end,are they??

Title says it all.
I have an Avalon with a module externally connected due to a short ribbon cable. Yifu said the pinout for IDE would fry the board, so don't want that!
Seems like searching for "flat IDC 40 pin" gives a lot of results. But does anyone know how to "test" a cable to see if the connectors are wired for IDE?
I know back in the day I had IDE cables, some were "key"d better than others. Wishing I could find one of those old cables now!
Problem is, even if I did find a cable I think might work, how would I go about confirming this?

That seems to show a lot of pins are used for ground, perhaps those are shorted on the IDE (ie non-straight-through) cables?
Anyone got a source for an Avalon-compatible cable? Seems like instrument tech type suppliers would have the best chance...
