DEC Rainbows ...

I think Don was suggesting that you just crimp connectors on each end for
the VR201. That would mean the connections are just straight through.

As I recall, the BCC03 is for the VR241 on a PRO, not a Rainbow. And I
doubt you could use a ribbon cable and crimp connectors for it. And the
BCC03 doesn't work on a Rainbow. You need, I think, a BCC17 for a VR241
and a Rainbow.
