You can also jam a "rod" into the connector, heat that up and run solder down it, and then solder to that- or dig some plastic away from the side... A piece of gold pin from a 20 pin Disk II card would do it. Remove one of the ground pins from the connector and that would be plenty long to shove in there. Sacrifice a 19 pin Disk II card - use the whole cable assembly off it. I'd have it soldered back on if it were in front of me.
Actually I just remembered.... I did exactly that a few years ago on this very wire...didn't seem to do a good job though. I'll have to get the soldering iron out tomorrow, re-strip the wire, and get it all fixed up. I have plenty of donor cards I can snap a pin off of. Is the cable removable from the card end? Seems like its on there pretty good.
