Ted,
Check Ebay (<*ducking*> yes, i'm serious).
There's a seller over there who occasionally
offers these up. I think their User ID is
4wells. Don't worry, they're not shady or
anything (I've bought these things from them in
the past).
It turns out that Roland *does* make 13-pin
cables in a smaller size (like somewhere around 3
or 5 feet, IIRC). But, unfortunately, Roland
doesn't seem to sell these direct. They come
bundled as extra cables with devices like the
US-20 GK Unit Selector.
That seller to which I was referring has somehow
gotten a stash of these things (don't know if
he's unbundling them from the US-20's or what).
Every once in a while they come up; you've just
got to keep a watch out, or try contacting him
directly.
Oh yeah, I just found the URL to one of his
completed (sorry!) auctions for a 4-foot GK
cable:

You might also look around to see if Roland lists
these as a replacement part, and have your bench
tech or authorized service center order them.
They do exist, they're just not very easy to find.
Just a couple of leads, but I hope it helps a little.
