    3W3 Connector Source

    I recently picked up a VAXStation 4000 VLC and Decstation 5000/200 and am interested in getting the video console working. I spent a while looking for either an adapter cable, or a 3W3 connector to make my own adapter. I couldn't find a cable, and 3W3 connectors are hard to find at the major...
