Roland MC-8 connecting cable; HIROSE/SUMICON 1600 60 pin advise

[20thcenturyjohnsmith]

hi
i've got a roland MC-8 but don't have the necessary connecting cable.
in the list archives i saw a thread about the MC-8 and someone said
the cable is made by HIROSE and is the SUMICON 1600 series 60 pin.
looking on their site, i'm confused as to know which one I need.
their seems to be many variations
can someone help me? i've tried emailing them but their 'contact us' is
broken. i tried emailing distributors but they wont help or respond.
which specific one do I need?

Hi Marcus,

I never bought a connector for the MC-8 but I am rather sure that it  
is a SUMICON 1600.

I think you have to order the following items (2 each for a cable)
P-1660A-CA(50) -> Plug cover
P-1660A-STA(51) -> stopper bracket
P-1660BA-STA(50) -> connector

But I am not completely sure - so it is a good idea to try to contact  
a Hirose distributor again

Good luck
Werner
