Subj: DVI CABLE AWKWARDNESS?

I recently because the proud owner of a used  Model 100 and 1-drive DVI. They
both work fine. However, the DVI-Model 100 connection is somewhat impractical.
The connector at the Model 100 end is a rather delicate 40-pin plug which
probably would not bear much plugging and unplugging. If I instead unplug at
the DVI end, I wind up carrying around the Model 100 with a long, delicate
ribbon cable hanging from it--also not a good solution. Is there a better
solution; or some type of cable/connector hack which can make this combination
more usable?
   Or are the PDD1 and PDD2 and Chipmunk drives more practical. I never seen
either of these. How do they connect to the Model 100?
   Any advice would be  appreciated.
