What is the name of the rounded, 3-pin power connector often seen on
early test equipment (I've seen it on older HP and Fluke stuff)?
I have an S-100 chassis that inexplicably uses one, despite dating
from 1982 or so.
Is it a Cromemco? Inexplicable is right. The Cromemco Z2 S100 chassis
from 1978 used them, I don't know what they were thinking using it
that late, unless they got a deal on a mass clearout.
I'm not the original poster, but I also had an S-100 chassis with that
power plug. I think it was a small California Computer System (CCS)
model.

Yep, that's exactly what I have -- it's a CCS 2200A. It's a nicely
equipped system and it appears to be complete, with CCS CPU, 64K Memory,
I/O and Floppy controller. It also has a Micro Diversions MicroAngelo
video board and a Morrow winchester controller (which attaches to two
24mb SA4000 drives that might still work). Should be interesting to get
running again.
I've purchased a suitable power cable, thanks to all for pointing me in
the right direction.
