UHF? (PL-59?.... PL-259
Thanks!
I couldn't remember the right name, so I questioned it
That is what I cabled my TRS80 model 1 to.
UHF (sic) connector was ont of the three common, BNC
and RCA(aka phono) were
the other two and followed behind that with card edges.
The real oddball cases I've seen are SMA, SMC, plus XLR!
When I taught in Evans10 at UCBerkeley thirty years ago, The overhead
monitors were connected to a wall jack with a connector that was about
two inches long, and about 3/8" diameter, with a center coaxial pin. I
found some at Electronics Etc. (which is now LONG gone), but never knew
what they are called.
I was SUPPOSED to go across campus, and fill out a form to check out a
cable for a few hours for each and every class session. I think that they
deliberately went with a weird connector to prevent people like me from
being able to connect. So, I made a cable. The half dozen enormous (by
early 1980s standards) monitors worked just fine from TRS80, and then
later 5150 and Amiga 1000. SUPERZAP, Trakcess, XenoXap on the
big-screens for talking about directory structures!
