Write access to Qoob Pro

Hi emu_kidid,
I just suffered a mishap trying to vacuum dust out of my Gamecube heatsink. I had the console apart to retrobrite the grey front panel, which went without a hitch. Unfortunately the loose end of my Qoob Pro flex cable got torn away as it was sucked inside the vacuum hose.
I see that Swiss can read from the Qoob Pro flash memory, but would it be much work to add writing to it too via the existing file management feature? I boot Swiss directly from flash so I update Swiss on there as it evolves. Looking online it seems that replacing the flex cable will be very difficult. Its specs are HF E248682 AWM 20798 12pin VW-1.
Of course, if Swiss could write to Qoob Pro flash then no one would need the flex cable or USB breakout board. There is an open source Qoob Pro flash tool which might provide the technical means perhaps:
