Believe it or not, the 36-pin "Centronics"-like connector is probably a
Centronics connector. They probably hook to a non-DEC printer, since little
else used that connector. Of course, with DEC, you never know.

Subject: BC16D-25 cable, what's that?
Hi,
I have a big pile of DEC BC16D-25 cable. It has one Centronics
like connector on each end. The connectors have 36 pins. I have
absolutely no clue what these cables are for. They came with
my recent VAX treck that included a VAX6000 cluster and a
DEC Server 90.
If you know what this cable is used for or if you want it,
please let me know. I have at least one or 2 dozen of those.
If nobody wants it I'll probably have to throw it out.
regards
-Gunther
