It is from the AMP M series connector family used in
the data cable for
the IBM 2311/2314 and PCM equivalents including double density like the ISS
715 (RP03?). So some of the parts strippers should have lots.
What parts strippers is this? Did these drives use coax connectors as well?
If someone see a used M-series with coax connector please save it! I am
very interested in used parts as well.
Using coax at the FDD data rate was overkill so unless you want to
preserve the connector for historical purposes u should be able to push out
and then remove the pins and connect the wires to whatever connector suits
u - flat cable connector for the control signal cable and whatever works
for the three coaxes (coax to twisted pair should work).
I don't want to replace the current connector since the mating connector in
the drive controller needs it. I just want something proper if possible to
use when dumping the disks. But I don't want to spend a fortune of course.
If not possible I simply solder wires to the relevant points on the drive
circuit board.
