?I wonder why they went that route... Seems kinda
kludgy. :)
That was the way back in the 1960s and 70s, when metal was cheap.
Burroughs did the same, as did DEC. CDC was different, using fairly
lightweight cables, but still with odd connectors.
I never understood why IBM made the Bus and Tag connectors
hermaphroditic and not keyed. I think all it did was create confusion.
