As another said this will probably be a standard ribbon cable for you.
half the conductors are simply drain/grounds/shields in between the
signal wires. IOW the usual ribbon cable for interconnecting floppys
and hard drives in you computer.

So how long do you need the cables?

You just gave me a great idea. I'll get four short ribbon cables and
make a holding bracket on the side of the computer. The I/O card plugs
the cables directly and they are a PITA to disconnect. This will get
it outside the case.

!!!! But, now I'll have to look for a male connector, surely no big deal. !!!!

Don't count on that, but good luck!

Yea, I've been surfing digikey for over 1/2 hour and can't find one.
maybe i don't know what to call it.

50 pin male idc connector - don't know if Digi carries them but I just
posted 2 sources - one very reasonable, the other moderately pricy,
but certainly not bad compared to what I remember paying for themabout
30 years ago!!!!!!!
