to a hardware hacker like me.
You are absolutely right that the port is not a "mouse" port, but if it has
a picture of a mouse next to it then Suzy will know where to plug her mouse
in.

New subject: Dec ribbon, scsi cable
Looks like a 50 pin ribbon, one end is a D shape female with 3 rows, other
end is split with two two row female typical ribbon connections. Label says
Digital p/n 17-01098-4 (second one is -5), Rev C ECO d01, mfg Phoenix Elec.
I have two, need zero.
Looks like a high density 68 pin scsi connector on each end, one is 45
degree, marked CBL 0300 or something like that. Have 1, could get maybe a
couple more, need zero (but it is a cool cable maybe some day I might need).
SoCal only, box of Digital Ultrix binders.
