    It sounds like it might be the disk drive that was offered for the Japanese version of the Nintendo Famicom computer. I THINK I remember reading that they were briefly offered here in the US. Go back to the trift store and DIG through the other boxs for the cables. They're almost certaqinly there. Trift stores are notorious for taking things apart and "sorting" all the pieces into separate piles in different locations. I've seen times when it took well over a year to get all the various parts of the same system out onto the shelves.
