I don't have the 25 pin d to 8x twinax connector gizmo (I can supply an IBM
part no). I've had a few offered to me, but they all want very serious
money for it. Considering I paid $25AU for the lot I'm not that interested
in shelling out a couple of hundred for the terminal interface box and
cable.
Is constructing the adapter an option? Twinax connectors can be
had readily, at least on this side of the ocean. I actually have one
of the adapter boxes you're talking about (for my AS/400); I'd be
happy to crack it open and investigate its innards for you.
