Power cable for Cromemco - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

11 Jun 1997

Found one!  Vetco here in Bellevue had a box of 'em... at the usurious
price of $9.50, but what can ya do?

At least I picked up some interesting 8-bit ISA cards for $1-$4 apiece,
namely:

- Silicon Valley ADP50 (IDE drives in PCs!)
- Kaypro NEC V20 accelerator/Z80 emulator card
- Kraft dual joystick adapter
- Ad Lib sound card

System 3.  It's kind  of a
  bizarre cable.  The recessed male panel jack is a
flattened oval, 1"  by
  1/2", with 3 conductors.  The center ground
pin is very slightly  offset
  from the other two pins.

 Any thoughts where I can get one of these?  
 Actually, not too odd at all.  Don't know about currently (as I've not
 looked for a while) but these used to be quite common on office
 equipment.

 And... (if you did not see this coming) I think I have a spare or two
 around...  (gotta turn over *all* of those rocks!)

 Bad ASCII art warning!

 Looks something (nothing?) like this?  eh?

 If you don't turn one up local, let me know and I'll try to find one
 to
 send along with the other stuff...
