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...
