Hi, I have an Apple //e with a defect Motherboard and bought an US Apple // e Motherborad to replace it. Sadly the keyboard cable port is on a different location on the board and my internal keyboard cable is to short. Does anyone in the US have an internal k.cable for me to repair my old Apple?
A decent Conrad or similar electronics store should have the needed connectors and the flat cable. You'll just have to get it together. A bench vise (Schraubstock in German) is good for getting the connectors on the cable, just make sure you cut the cable absolutely straight across, put in some small wooden boards to avoid damaging the plastic of the connectors with the vise's metal, make sure everything is nice and straight, and turn really slowly. Don't try to disassemble the connectors, it's really hard to do without breaking something.
