An acquaintance of mine is looking to hook up his
Heath/Zenith LSI-11 system to his H/Z-29 terminal.
The system has the Sigma Information Systems 400200 interface card.
I found him a copy of the manual but before attempting to build his own cable he was
wondering
if an existing cable might be found for RS-232 operation with this card.
Any ideas on a source for something like that?
If they are 10-pin headers, then they should be pin-compatible
with any of the DEC serial headers and cables.
A real DEC DLV11-J uses the CK-DLV11-J cabinet kit,
which should work adequately if you can find one.
You could also use the (CPU) cabinet kit for a MicroVAX or PDP-11.
The MicroVAX version looks like this -

These days, it would probably be more cost-effective to roll your own cable,
particularly if you're only going to be connecting one device to the system.
