- That's the method I've used to make replacement SX-64 keyboard cables. The
- first trick is getting the ribbon cable lined up PRECISELY with the connector.
- The second trick is to push the connector together parallel -- they make a
- special device for that, but a vise works well, too. DON'T push one end
- together then the next.
