Sider Hard Drive Help



Happy New Year everyone,

I received in a trade some time ago a Sider hard drive, from
First Class Peripherals.  It's in excellent condition externally,
even in the original box.

I have the original manual, and I seem to have all the parts
except the short cable assembly that connects the controller card
to the back of the //e I plan to use it with.  I'm wondering if
anyone has one of these cables, perhaps from a non-working Sider,
that I could purchase.

Otherwise I'd be interested in the pin-outs for the cable so I
could build one myself.

Also, once I get the drive connected, the first thing I'd like to
do is back up whatever's on it, before I mess any of it up.  I
have a cable between my //e and 368 which I use for transferring
floppies with ADT.  Can I use the same cable to back up the
Sider?  If the "Owner Log" in the back of the manual is correct,
it has DOS 3.3, Prodos, Pascal, and very small (probably unused)
CP/M partitions on it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

- John
