Hello all, I've got an interface to an RRD40 in my VAX called a KRQ50 and
it has two "ports". One connects to the RRD40 with a 15 pin or so cable,
the other, I don't know. Then in the box of stuff that went with this is a
terminator (green LED on the back) with the same D-shell connector as the
RRD40. So I'm trying to figure out whether or not they went together. I've
never seen such a terminator before.

Its a SCSI terminator and it goes with the RRD40. If the RRD40
is the only device on the SCSI bus you will probably need to
use it.

Actually, that's not a terminator. None is required for the KRQ50
controller. What you have there is an Ethernet (AUI) loopback plug. ;-)
