10H4056 is correct for the floppy drive..
there is no FRU # on any of the cables..
these cables have a trapezoidal plug on each end..
one end, the smaller, has 26 pins and connectes to the floppy drive..
the other end has 36 "pins" and connects to the left side of the 701..

IRT priceing..
have you checked ebay..?
i have no idea what one of these is worth these days..
been saving this stuff for that time they are rare and insanely valuabe in hopes i can retire before obama learns i have two dimes to rub together and wants both of them.. :eek:
joking aside, if you can find some basis for pricing please let me know..

There are cables listed on E-bay from $4.95 to $19.95.
You need to tell me what you want for one....and as I mentioned in my last PM I just
bought a floppy drive/ cable set-up for $20.00. I think the drive is correct but the cable is wrong...
Please let me know what you want for the cable
Thanks
Anthony
