Eh, always happy to help anyone with PDP-11 stuff. > the buddy mentioned above did a lot of dec maintenance and put these > cables in a pile as he found them.. They're probably worth a good bit now, given how scarce they are! ;-) > Also will order some parts to make the cable off the M7940. You might want to order some 10-pin shells (for the DLV11-J, etc) at the same time, those are really common on later DEC gear - the DLV11/DLV11-J was the transition point. (Actually, although there are only 10 pins, it looks like the connector housings will hold 14-pin shells, so it you want to not have to carefully align the cable before plugging it in, go for 14's. Haven't tried this personally - yet - so take that one with a grain of salt!) I'm off to order some 14-pin shells myself! :-) Noel
