That is correct. The RK06/07 cable has, IIRC, all 40 pins wired (maybe one is left black that would be used for termination power). The RL cable has about 26 pins wired. The terminators, BTW, are the same. DEC would not aprove of this, but I have a DW11-B (Unibus-Qbus translator) in my 11/45, with the Q-bus end in a MINC chassis (to get the nice MINC modules, and an IBV11 GPIB interfave, on a Unibus machine). The official ink between the 2 halves of the DW11-B is a pair of 40 way ribbon cables. In my machine, the cables go from the Unibus board to a couple of RK07-like bulkhead connectors, then through a couple of RK07 cables to the MINC rack where they go onto a couple more bulkhead connectors, back to 40 way ribbon cable, then into the other half of the DW11-B. Works fine... -tony
