One of the adapter cards (probably the db25) gets a cable that has a DB on
one end and a big rubber block with 1" round, 2 center socket, connectors,
usually 6 of them (max load for a twinax controller). You probably need to
try to get that from them if you can or research which of the cards is a
twinaxial controller and then locate a source (Black Box = big bux) for a
replacement cable. Last year I had access to dozens of cables like that, now
nothing as I work mostly smaller ethernet and token ring servers (RS/6000,
Server 370, etc). I haven't worked on many S/34, 36 or AS/400 servers since
last fall.
