Tom,
Can you post a picture of one? One of the places that I scrounge at has baskets full of
cut off cable connectors. I might be able to find some there.

Some web browsing shows me that Mate-N-Lock pins are still available,
but the flat connector shells seem to be gone.
On the Compaq web site there are some cables with Mate-N-Lock on one
end and various other connectors on the other end, for use with LA30's.
I tried to search the Compaq site for Mate-N-Lock but it crashed my
Netscape 6, as usual.
