FWIW the IEC versions were slightly oversized integrated filters.
Is it a
Cromemco? Inexplicable is right. The Cromemco Z2 S100 chassis
from 1978 used them, I don't know what they were thinking using it
that late, unless they got a deal on a mass clearout.
Are the inlet connectors in question simple connectors, or are they part
of an RFI filter assembly? Pretty sure we had to have RFI filters on
Century disk drives field replaced in the mid 80s that still had the 163
style connectors. (Ok, they _were_ replacing them due to fire hazard,
as I recall. :)
