I have a zenith 181 laptop with 2 floppies.  I also have the zenith external
hard drive.  I am missing the cable that goes between the laptop and the
disk.  According to the documentation it is an HCA-78 that is required.
This cable has a 50 pin connector on one side and a 62 pin in 3 rows D
connector on the other.  I have not seen the 50 pin connector before and it
appears none standard (ie. a 50 pin D shell connector will not work).  Does
anyone know were I can get this cable from.  Are there 3rd party sources for
external hard drives that might sell just the cable?  Can I purchase the 
connectors so that I could build myself a cable?  Are there any Heath/Zenith
store that just might have one lying around?  Thanks for the replies.
