I was going through a box of old stuff and ran across something I've
ever seen before - a 48-pin 0.156" Cinch connector w/cable hood. From
my Commodore days, I've seen lots of 6 and 12 and 44-pin connectors,
but not 48. One telling thing is in fine print on the documentation
is the legend "HP Part No 5060-8339". It suggests to me that it might
be useful for something in the HP1000 or HP2000 era, if I remember
anything about the innards.
A 48-pin card edge connector is common on HP-1000 I/O interface
boards, for example the 12531C and 12996A serial interfaces.
