Pick pick pick. 8) "Centronics" was a printer company. They made printers that featured this wacko connector. AMP are a connector company; they make a bazillion different connectors.

I don't know whether this is because Honda make them, because they're small and difficult to get along with, or just for fun. > cheers, J"org -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
