Thanks - that's the critter!

My modified calculator cable is probably the "Japanese calculator" type, 
although it seems to work OK with 163-type sockets despite the mention of 
the pin diameter of the 163 being a little larger (presumably the 
receptacles within the plug are pressing up against the pins of the 163 
type socket, but not actually fitting over them).

I would much rather have the right type, obviously!

Indeed :-)
