[TriEmbed] Help finding a 0.5mm connector / cable

[Carl Nobile]

You didn't include any photos, but I think this is what you're talking
about:

You'll also need to get a ribbon cable of the length you want. BTW--this is
the same cable and connectors used in older computers to attach to hard
drives.
