A little while ago I bought a "new" 10ft MMJ

cable. So, my question is where can I buy a straight MMJ - MMJ?
10ft would be fine, longer perhaps better, and ideally a UK source.
Not a UK source, but if you strike out elsewhere, I got my last
bag from either Mouser or DigiKey. I think it was Mouser. They
still stocked them as of about two years ago.
Whilst on the subject of DEC, I'm also looking for
an ethernet card
for a PDP 11/53 and perhaps a TK drive (assuming that if on power-
up the drive wheel just spins continually and you can't lift the
handle, the drive is broken).
TK drives are my nemesis; I've got EIGHT of the damned things here
and none of them work. (with five different controllers and three
cables, obviously not all permutations tested)
DEQNA and DELQA boards, though...I've got scads of those, and some
other hardware that we discussed offline awhile back. We should
figure out how to get a box out to you.
