DDA? Ok, thanks. Appreciated.

Not much. That equates to about A$50 plus shipping across the Pacific.
But if all else fails. I am led to believe I can get a new one for about
A$75 or so, but I
need to confirm this. That's more than I wanted to pay, but I may not have
a choice.

The multiplex cable with 2 d connectors at each end that go from the DEC
Pro380 Vaxconsole to
the backplane of the VAX 85xx series of computers. (Nautilus I think is the
processor family)
