If  anyone is interested . electronics-plus.com has brand new Tandy 
FD-502's  for $79.95
plus $17.95 shipping and handling . It looks like that includes  
controller, dual case ,
1 - 5 1/4 floppy  and manual according to  the box pictured. It doesn't 
say anything about cable.  What normally  came with the FD-502 from Tandy?


Well, this certainly sounds like a "Drive 0 Kit", since it has controller  
and manual -- and, by Tandy's standards, that definitely includes the  cable!  
For nearly $100 I hope you get one with it.
 
That cable will have two female connectors, with teeth pulled to hit Drives  
0 and 1.  But you can crimp more connectors to handle more drives,  
double-sided, etc.  I suspect that drive won't read its back side with a  stock Tandy 
connector (someone correct me!).
