768.0. "RW564 connected to KZPSA which cable" by CSC32::R_ROBERTSON () Fri Jan 31 1997 13:02

    Does anyone know what cable should be used from the KZPSA to a RW546 ?
    I believe the cable would be a male to male 68 pin high density to
    50 pin low density (centronics). In looking at the available cable
    descriptions I do not see any like this.

	We use the BN21M here in engineering, it's a 50-pin LD to 68-pin HD, right angle... Joe

	Right enough Joe.... It's interesting to note:- (1) BN21M-xx = 17-03567-xx (-02, -03, -05, -10, -15, -20) (2) BN31W-01 = 17-03567-21 I wonder what's special about (2) that (1) couldn't satisfy apart from 'right-angle'? Regards... Dave
