What sort of drive are you trying to connect to the IIc?  All Apple II
floppy drives have a built-in cable.

The only case I can think of where a special cable would be needed (and
would work) is if you are trying to connect an old Disk ][ drive to the
IIc.  The Disk ][ uses a 20 pin IDC connector, while the IIc and newer
drives like the UniDisk use the D-19.

Are you talking about an extender cable, so that you can situation the
drive futher away from the computer?  I've never heard of anything like
this being available as a standard product.
