I need some, time to make them.
Want to be historically accurate, so... would anyone know exactly what AMP
connector was used, or where there are pictures of lots of AMP connectors so
I can identify the right one and order it?
I'm hoping the connector is still made...no part number on it other than AMP

Though it's less "historically accurate", shoving a resistor directly
into the connector seems to work fairly well for the machine I was
playing with last night. :)

Jay,
Your timing is perfect! I just picked up the two plugs from a HP cable
that was made to fit those connectors. It seems the scrap idiots cut the
plugs off to get the "valuable" copper cable and then threw the plugs away.
I found them in a load of scrap and recognized them immediately and I knew
they'd be useful sooner or later. Send me your address and I'll drop them
in the mnail to you.

You sure they are the right gender? There are some power control cables with
female connectors, and some with male connectors (I believe for the I/O
extenders). Which are yours? I'm looking for the ones that are male,
hopefully with the pins intact. Let me know!
Thanks!

Jay,
I'm pretty sure they're the right sex but they're in the warehouse.
I'll
be down there tomorrow and I'll double check them.

Hey Jay!
I picked up the two plugs todays and checked them on one of my HP 1000s
and they are a perfect fit! I THOUGHT all the connectors on the back were
the same but wasn't absolutely certain till I checked. The pins are the
right sex (male) but some of them are in different locations in the three
different connectors so you MAY have to move two of them to the proper
locations. I've got a friend in a very ugly legal sitation that I'm trying
to help out and I'm very busy right now but I'll get them in the mail to
you as soon as I can.

These can be made from CPU to power-controller cables. The same connector
is used for both applications.

Yes, I know. And I do have a few of the power controller cables. However, I
refuse to cut them up to make battery plugs, as the few cables of them I
have are mint and I may want to use them some day.
Surely those connectors are still made and can be bought today?

I have browsed the connector parts listed here and the closest looking
part I've found is 770428-1 but it doesn't have the latches and I'm
not sure if the dimensions are correct.

Yeah, that one is close. I can't believe that connector isn't still around,
including the latches. I can be such a stickler for detail ;)
If I find one I'll let the list know.
