mini-IDC based or mini-centronics based?
Er, yes. ;^) I've got to go from uVAX 3400 and VAX 4k500 bulkheads (and
KFQSA) to each other and some HSD05/HSD10. The HSD's use micro-DB50 sized
connector that looks like a Centronics, while the uVAX 3400 (and I assume
the 4k500) have what looks like an inverted micro-DB50 connector (male on
host).
I never used DSSI machines in production, so I'm very unclear what these
cables are or look like...
Thanks,

That is exactly the cable I'm looking for.
If you find two let me know / If I find two I'll let you know.
As a hack, I'm considering this if there's no way out.
Take the bulkhead connector (to the internal ribbon
cable) from a spare machine with a matching connector
(either format, just so the two match) and transplant it into
the older/newer machine. Now a matching ended cable
could be used... it is hoped.
I'm very unclear what these cables are or look
like...
I just have the matching ended ones, one of each, no
spares. BTW make sure you don't lose your terminators.
