Found an IDE cable with two closely spaced drive connectors on it at one end, but then noticed that the drive connectors had a blanked off pin, to ensure connection of the headers the right way around. Found two more like that, and then finally a fourth one where the connectors were 'ordinary' 2 * 20 (40 way) IDC connectors. I'll try the interface with a Pi 3B tomorrow, time allowing.
