- My first foray into the laptop group here at work produced the correct
- cable for my "soon to be here A1200". It was, however, a foot long...
- On my second trip I came up with one that is only 1.5" long. Hopefully
- that will work nicely. Anyway, one of my cables had connectors with the
- 3M marking on it, so the connectors must be sold in the US by 3M. I
- would suspect that Amp carries them as well.

- Good luck in finding a cable. It was rather dicey finding one here at
- work and we make laptops that use these drives (most of our designs use
- the flex circuit as well). This is definatly not an item you will find
- at your local Radio Shack.
