Although I knew that Ampex was a supplier of Multibus non-volatile RAM

This is a twin/duplex cable of varying length with 100/140 um "multimode"
cores and SMA-906 connectors. SMA-906 connectors have the stepped
center-pin, compared to the SMA-905 which is a simpler straight pin. It's

Three possibly interesting papers about some Tennecomp equipment uses.
The third (MCA FOCAL) references the "PDP-9, PDP-9/L, or PDP-15".
Also references DEC-15-MR2B-D "Advanced Monitor Software System for
