 These terminate in VAX bulkhead connectors, and even though it was
 only last week that I set up an SDI disk system I can't remember if
 the bulkhead connectors can be removed to allow you to plug  
 the 8-way

 It's been a few years now, but I'm sure that I've removed the
 metal bulkhead ends so I could got directly from KDA50 ro
 RA7x in a MicroVAX 3900. I'm also sure that the process was
 non-destructive (i.e reversible - undo a few screws and the
 two halves of the bulkhead connector come apart).
