[PCjr PSU connector]
That was what I was thinking, but I haven't had the two side-by-side for
a comparison yet.
Sounds like a 3 pin Molex like appliances use, which is a 3 pin version
of the 4 pin Molex used on hard drive power in PCs.
Possibly...
I think it's the same type of connector as the ones DEC used for the 3
wire power control bus on their power controllers (relay boxes :-)). I thought that was a mate-n-lock, but I am not sure.
Not sure, either. I think of ASR-33 20mA connectors as Mate-n-Lock, but
perhaps is a generic term for any of the Molex connectors with that size
of pin and the white plastic housing.
IIRC, the polarisation on the disk drive power
connector is by having 2
sloping corners. On the PCjr power connector, it's 2 square notches in
the corners
