Hello, all.

I'm looking for an original Tandy 1000 TX floppy drive cable, or a third-party floppy drive cable that has been modified (traces cut to disable "power thru" function), tested & working.

Thanks,
 
See here.
"For 3-1/2" drives, maybe. The HX, TX, SL/2, TL's, RL's, RLX's, and RSX's use a special floppy drive that draws power through the data cable. ... you can connect a standard drive if you modify the cable. You need to punch holes in the data cable to cut the power; ... Specifically, +5V is supplied on pins 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, and +12V is supplied on pins 29, 31, and 33."
