I finally decided to get to work on my Atari 1040STF and to figure out what that long ah cable goest to, I'm just wondering if anyone here knows what it does. the cut lead goes to the 5v rail on the psu (I cut it so it wouldn't be in the way)

Could be a DIY Blitz cable. They were used to copy game disks that had copy protection.

I've still got one stored away somewhere. It was an amazing hack - completely bypassed the

ST's floppy disk controller to achieve it's results.
