Hi I recently got a 512k ram expansion for my 6128plus but the cable that it came with has left me confused as its obviously worng! its the plus connector going to a female slot rather than the 50 pin ide style connector - I have tried contacting the people i got it from but are having no response so can somebody here sell me or make me a correct cable please?
The 6128plus as the German CPC6128 have the favorable 50 pin Centronics connectors. That's great.
However your cable probably has a connector for an 50 pin edge port used with CPC464, CPC664 and some CPC6128.
Now, what can you do?
1. Get a male 50 pin Centronics connector and crimp it on your cable

2. Make a new flat cable with two crimp connectors
Hi thanks I have took your advice and ordered the 50 pin connectors so hopefully after easter i can get it together - i take it the just push on?

Yes, but quite a bit of pushing is required. The easiest way of doing it is to carefully line up the flat cable and then squeeze the connector closed in a vice.
