Apparently a company called Texelec is supplying pre-made ones, now.

At present (20th July 2020 10:15) I only have supplies to make up 5 of each Male connector socket Type. After that, lead times may become unacceptably long, due to resupply delivery times and prior project work demands.

awesome!!! I love you for this! My Model 30 soooo badly needs this and I am a total idiot if it comes to soldering and stuff and I guessed that lovely machine was unusable now.

These indeed are very nice. Even if my PS/2 systems all have working floppies today there may come times when these will be needed. Besides, would love to test Gotek in some of my PS/2 systems!

So, declaring interest in 1 x 40-pin and 1 x 34-pin adapter - thanks.

Thanks for providing these!

Declaring interest in one 40-pin adapter, I assume this is what a model 65SX needs?

Hi, yes, I believe the 65SX uses 40-way either card-edge or male 40-pin FDDs, but please do check. If the former it's simple enough to crimp onto the planar cable a couple of 40-pin Female IDC plugs, provided you leave enough space between the new plug and the old card-edge socket for the latter to bend back clear enough for the female plug to fully engage in an actual pin-type FDD. The adapter cable will make this easy, but better to cater to all possibilities. Be careful of the key orientation before crimping up (it should face down).
