Yes, that is for the cable provided with an Overland Data TX-8. What's
the "blue" adapter? I've never heard of any Overland Data Pertec
controllers besides the TX-8 and the TXi-16 before. Did the same company
really use the same connector for the same purpose but a different pinout?

got a D-sub 62-pin male connector on one end and two 50 conductor female

I rung one out, here is my documentation:

Only thing I've seen on Overland drives, not adapters, is a parallel
port on some of the
1/2" decks.
I have used all the cables interchangably and with both controllers. I
think I have one of
every controller they made from the tc-50 on up.
Of course they used two 50 pin cables, not the custom round one.

No, that is real. The hoax was when someone else posted an ad that spoofed
it.
Mr. Freeman just keeps re-posting his own ad every few months because no one
is coming close to the reserve price. (Which I'm not at liberty to
disclose, so don't ask.)

Now how heavy is the I/O Equiment and Memory boxes if that real Classic
Computers. :) Also while I have got you attention as for archived
material
on CD I suspect the hard part is keeping all together, not archiving
the material.
Remember --- Can you still bootstrap your data off the CD in 20 years?

Me too. I have no idea why he thinks someone is going to take it all in
one fell swoop (especially considering the reserve).

Perhaps his 'ego' is wrapped up in it remaining a collection. It isn't
unusual for somebody to spend a lifetime putting together what they
consider 'the ultimate collecton' and despairing at the idea of it being
split apart into fragments, undoing the thing the collector worked long
and hard to accomplish. It isn't unusual for collectors of various
things to want to bestow them, complete, to an institution that will
keep it together as a collection.

Yes, that's basically the case, as I understand it. Not ego though, just
genuine good intentions, perhaps slightly misguided.

I was once told by a very wise man, Collectors build collections and
dealers break them up so that other collectors can continue to build
their collections, which most likely will be broken up and redistributed
many times over time. It is an endless circle .....

Great, thanks. Now I can sort them.
The blue adapter is an 8-bit adapter one of my customers had before I changed it
to a TX8. I'm quite convinced that it was an Overland product, but I am not so
sure that I want to put my head on the block. It was a horrible thing, but it
was easily programmable, and that meant that we could skip bad blocks on 9 track
tapes.
Could someone enlighten me to what the name of that thing could have been ?
