Yup, it's a DEC thing, however the DEQNA cab kits
do the proper cam and
lock interface. I thought about removing the nuts, but went with
ordering a cable and I'll pull the studs off it to make it work. Sub
optimal but that is DEC (also I remember AUI cables did come with screws
so other vendors did this in the early days as well)
Classic PERQs certainly did (4-40 UNC jackposts and screws rather than
the slidelock). That's one reason I had to make my own AUI cable. Of
course a couple of weeks later I spotted a couple of cables with DA15
connectors being thrown out. I grabbed them, they turned out to be
genuine ICL PERQ AUI cables...
