Oops! Hang on, I just realized you are talking about the data cable, and I'm
talking about the power cable. I didn't see the "ribbon cable" comment for
some strange reason.

Please excuse mine gaff, but at least at the moment, your storage is
probably a fine home for them.

I'm trying to find the name and/or source for the 4 pin power connector used
on IDE drives.

That's the one. I'll be happy to pay shipping and for your time.

I would still love to know what the heck those are called.

Not sure about the PCB side. I have a whole mess of female connectors,
probably over 100, and ribbon cable on a big roll somewhere in my storage.
Probably the dual male pc mount headers also. These are the same ones that
connect to IDE hard drives. If I can find them and you need them, they're
yours.
