Thanks!

FWIW Farnell also have a US subsidiary. In my experience they're an excellent company to deal with. I always order components from them because they're generally cheaper than high street stores, have good service, and they don't charge extra for shipping. Unfortunately they do have a minimum order amount (£20 in the UK).

from what I remember 90% of farnell stock is available through CPC www.cpc.co.uk

dont think they have a min order

I think I have a source.  If I can get some, I'll offer the cables.  I don't know about $5 thing though, as some of the parts aren't cheap.

Also, the layout of the inputs on the 40-pin are going to make it odd for the 36-pin connectors.  Which is more important, the Shazaaam! button or the +5v connection?  I can't give you both in that connector. *edit*  Ok, I guess I can  ;D

I got 50-pin crimp-on Centronics connectors (male and female) from Norvac, my local electronic components shop.  Plus, they had the ribbon cable too!  I'm sure there's gotta be someplace local you can find 'em.  Good luck.  :)
