One thing to watch for - pin diameter. I made my own connector for a
VT220 out of a pair of drive power connectors, and it works fine, but
I think the VT220 end got stretched - now that I have a real set of
TTY cables, they don't fit in my terminal. I tried to sort of compress
them back into place, but I think I'll have to remove the board and
remove the connector from the board before I can get clear access to the
pins. OTOH, I could try to make a pin squeezer out of tubing...

Got part numbers? I'm also looking for part numbers for Berg connector
bits - somewhere I have the tool that makes the same cables as DEC did
with the black Berg shells. What I lack is the female crimp-on "pins".
