        Just pulled both my Tandy 1000 cable and my 26-1401. The
1401 is still in it's display bag and shows it is for the Model
I/III/4/4P/4D. It is a 6' ribbon cable, with the card edge connector
on one end and the centronics-style connector on the other. My Model
1000 parallel cable carries p/n 26-289 and the connectors LOOK
identical, though the cable and connectors are shielded vice being a
bare ribbon cable. This cable is a 6' cable meant for non-Tandy
printers with an IBM-style interface.
