The thickwire connector on my DECstation 5000/240 does not have the sliding lock on it, instead it has standoffs with threaded screw holes (like any normal serial/parallel connector). This means that the thickwire adapters I have won't connect properly because their locking studs are blocked by the standoffs on the main board connector. I can remove the standoffs I suppose, but I was just wondering if anyone has ever come across this before?
