  Yes, I found a pile of cables for that type stuff this weekend. They have
50 pin Aphenol connector on one end that fits the serial ports on the HP
9000 200 and 300 series and a DB-25 connector on the other.

   Wow, a 2645 that's still in use! I've never seen one at all except in
catalogs.

   BTW I found some more 64000 stuff for you too. I got two 64650A General
Purpose Processors. I'll start a new pile for you.

  ALSO I found two 64110 systems with piles of stuff including the adapter
boards and cables! I'm going over one day to see what all the guy has.
He's also got a HP drive that I think may have come from a 64110 and it may
have software still on it.
