The fact that a mil spec version of the connector does not exist has no bearing on the availablity of the item. It seems it is still manufactured and therefore available. See link below Parts DB19, DB19 Female Solder Type Connector Sterling just wants to make or buy a cable. The link www.thesvd.com/ SVD/apple-2c-notes.php details where to obtain a connector, how to assemble the cable ans shows where to plug it into the computer. It seema to me that should be sufficient to conclude the discussion

Yes, these do, but none of the DA, DB, DC or DD types were 19 pins. In fact, as a 19 pin connector was a special just for Apple, it had NO assigned MIL-Spec designation at all, and was NOT any of the MIL- Spec sizes, A, B, C or D. The HD series, which came out after Apple's 19 pin connector was designed, could have provided the required number of connections within an A, B, C or D sized connector, but those were not then available. You can get 15 pins within the space of 9 pins, using the HD series, and proportionally more in the 15, 25, 37 and 50 size connectors. In fact, the smaller (than "DB-19") 15-pin size shell can hold 25 pins, in the HD series, and would have been more than adequate for the Apple floppy and HD20 application. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
