I need some help with this one from the 'experts'. I know that this is the adaptor (one of two) from an IBM 3480 A22 controller that connected the device to its host system. I *think* that it's an ESCON adaptor, but want some verification on that. Also, does anyone have any interest in these? If not, one might make it into my 'museum', but the fate of the other is uncertain. If you have a desire for either or both of these, contact me off list. (Yeah, the 'connector' at the top of the pic is aparently the bus terminator. And no, I don't need the screw-driver handle identified, I know what that is ;^) http://cart-server.purdueriots.com/escon_adaptor_and_terminator.jpg Thanks! -- Pat
