Turns out it WAS for an I/O extender, 12979, which is the extender for the
21MX. I'm used to thinking of an extender as a 2155 (2100 version). My bad.

The 12979 PN sounds real familar to me too. I'm about 99.5% certain that
it's something for the HP 1000 computer. I THINK 12797 is the IO expansion
chassis. If so, this might be the cable that connects it to the main CPU
chassis.

Anyone know
offhand what these cables are for? They have one standard HP
edge card connector on each end.
Thanks!
