Amphenol cables are available from Newark Electronics. Newark is a large nationwide company look in your local phone book for a local sales office. They have a cable that is supposedly for a VAX that looks like it has a high density 50 pin connector on it like the one that is on my 1742. I have had good results using old SCSI cables with my 1542C if I use an inline terminator ( MAC style ) along with a regular terminator. This has allowed me to have 3 internal devices and 1 external. Without the extra terminator my SCSI-1 hard drive would dissapear after the initial boot message properly identified it.

There is no Newark Electronics in MY local book, or even for nearby cities. I am not sure they are as ubiquitous as you say they are. Do they have a national sales number?

Jack…Newark Electronics is indeed a major supplier of electronics supplies to repair shops and the like. Their catalog is about 1500 pages with semiconductors, cables, sockets, and all kinds of other neat toys. I have an NYC number for them (212-962-0869) but they may have one that's closer to you. Hope this helps. -Larry
