HP-150 Touchscreen

The cables I have do not look like the Wikipedia page picture; they have matte metal shells with black screws rather than black shells with metallic-appearing screws. The Wikipedia page does say that the connectors "are held in place by screws, either UTS (now largely obsolete) or metric M3.5?0.6 threads. By convention, metric screws are colored black, as the two threads do not mate.". I suspect the cables will work fine except for possible mechanical retention issues if the screws are wrong - in my experience they have notably low friction. I looked at my box of cables and it looked as though they were all HP-branded and marked 10833A, in case that helps; I didn't go through them carefully checking each one, but that is how all the cable ends in easy view were marked. The Wikipedia page also says One unusual feature of IEEE-488 connectors is they commonly use a "double-headed" design, with male on one side, and female on the other. This allows stacking connectors for easy daisy-chaining. I think all my cables match this description. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
