It would seem that DG didn't believe in
anything plugging in to
interface boards. Instead, interface boards went in the cpu with no
external connectors. Then you wirewrap from the backplane from a given
slot to one (of a stack) of paddle boards bolted to the rear of the
cpu chassis. Those paddleboards have edge connectors, and that's where
you connect the device cable. Fun stuff.
Indeed! I feel like being spoiled by DEC with connectors for everything.
I have the controller board for the 6125, but I do not have the cable
from the backplane to the paddle board. I *think* I do have the cable
from the paddle board to the pin header on the 6125 board (the horizontally
mounted one).
On both my Eclipse S/140 and Nova 4 the peripheral cables that go from
the backplane to the paddle boards use one or two connectors that slip
over the backplane pins instead of wire-wrapping onto the pins.
