Power cable identification

[dwight]

Yes, there where two different type each with

different hot and neutral. Luckily, most equipment

with these have transformers. With a GFI socket there

should be no issue.

>From some recent reports, no major wire maker is still

making these.

It seems there may be a small market for an adapter.

Oval "HP" cords. Used on my older HP equipment and my Friden SWT 10 calculator. "New" ones show up on occasion on ebay for pretty cheap, this guy claims to have them in stock (all the way at the bottom)

I have an S-100 chassis that inexplicably uses one, despite dating from 1982 or so.  I need to track one of these cables down but I have no idea what it is exactly I'm looking for...
