Thank you for the suggestions: - MSC Industrial's view of a connector is a thing for joining hoses together - McMaster's/Carr are closer to the bone offering several ranges of known (to me) mate and lock style connectors, potentialy the basis of bodging
In the 1970's / 1980's there was a close connection between CNC and mini-computers, eg Google offered https://www.cnc-shopping.co.uk/dec-dlv11-j-asynchronous-serial-line-interface-card.html The technology on the PECs is a mix of SSI TTL, MSI LS TTL and early microprocessor, eg 8052, little different to computer peripherals of the period Martin -----Original Message----- From: Doc Shipley via cctalk [mailto:cctalk@classiccmp.org] Sent: 17 January 2025 08:23 To: Martin Bishop via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Cc: Doc Shipley <d...@vaxen.net> Subject: [cctalk] Re: Fanuc Tape Reader PECs 1980's - Connector Identification I don't have any real information, but...
