I've seen those cables on older large HP servers. I'm sure other stuff uses them as well. In a pinch you can modify a standard cable. Take care that the cable can handle the power though! -J On Thu, Oct 6, 2016 at 3:14 PM, Dave Wade via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

In another case of, "the right way, the wrong way, and the DEC way," it seems there's a special IEC cable used for DECServer 550s. Does anyone have one? It looks like a regular grounded IEC cable, but with a groove cut in the plug, opposite the ground pin. Looks like I could probably make do with a Dremel tool and a standard cable, but I thought I'd check first.
Thanks, Jonathan
