            VAXstation 3100 SCSI Cables

   The VAXstation 3100 uses an unusual external SCSI connector, a male,
68-pin, high-density, Honda connector.

   The DEC SCSI cables made for these systems are the BC09J-xx and the
BC56H-xx (where "xx" is the length in feet, typically "03").  Each has a
straight-out, 68-pin, female connector at one end, and a more typical,
50-pin, male, AMP ("Centronics") connector at the other end.  The
BC09J-xx has a right-angle 50-pin connector.  The BC56H-xx has a
straight-out 50-pin connector.
