The Pinebook came 1/13/2020 and within a few days I ordered a USB/eMMC adapter which came in a month or so. I hadn't thought I'd get an SSD, then I read up and looked around and found I could get a 1 TB Intel for $125 which sounded reasonable so I bought one and ordered the NVMe adapter from the Pine Store. Which is a board that goes between the SSD and the cable. Came in a little anti-static bag and in another little bag were 2 screws and 2 washers. No cable. My Pinebook came with no cable plugged into the CPU board for the SSD and I didn't get a 1st generation adapter.
The connector on the board looks like a reasonably standard IDC connector where you squeeze it closed and contacts pierce the insulation on a cable. Except the picture in the wiki shows flex-board cable which is copper foil on a plastic backing, not wires. The connector on the adapter I don't recognize at all.
I believe the little ribbon cable was with the adapter board, and the little micro sized screws and slotted post were in a small baggie,
all inside the envelope.
The whole ribbon cable can hide behind the adapter board....perhaps even stuck to the back of the board ?
total length of the ribbon is approx 3 & 1/4 inches Not counting the bends in the ribbon, it is approx 7/16 inch wide.
It has two 45 degree bends at one end that form an offset,
and two 45 degree bends at the other end forming a 90 degree total bend.
I did purchase one earlier that the ribbon cable was loose in the package, the second one I ordered later for my ANSI PBP, had the ribbon packed in with the adapter board.
It is almost paper thin
