Cable from PC-8001
A 50-pin female edge connector and 50-pin female 0.1" IDC header are required. Crimp a straight 50-pin ribbon cable, such that pin 1 of the edge connector connects to pin 1 of the female IDC header. Attach to PC-8033 clone board, paying attention to board callout for pin "01."
Cable to Floppy Drive
A cable will have to be made to connect to the disk drive.
PC-8031-2W (34-pin edge connector)
Use an IDC crimper to crimp a 34-pin ribbon into 34-pin female (0.1") and 34-pin edge connector. Do not cross over (pin 1 on J2 should be pin 1 on the floppy drive.)
Connect to floppy drive, paying attention to pin 1 arrow on back.
PC-80S31 (36-pin 57-series Centronics)
Use an IDC crimper to crimp a 36-pin ribbon into a 36-pin female (0.1") and 36-pin Centronics connector. Do not cross over.
Connect to floppy drive.
Enclosure
TBD

Questions
How big is the Pc8033-clone interface PCB?
It measures 95.3 × 67.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pc8033-clone interface use?
20 parts, built around the 74LS04PC, 74LS30PC and 74LS32SC. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pc8033-clone interface KiCad files?
From the barbeque/pc8033-clone-interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pc-8033-clone-interface.kicad_pcb and its schematic pc-8033-clone-interface.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pc8033-clone interface design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask barbeque before reusing the design.
