The cable is a custom one, made by Dupont. I am getting my information from
catalog #88-A, DuPont Interconnect and Packaging products, page 430

The product is called "Latch-N-Lok" EMI-Shielded Modular Interconections
The sell all different kinds of pin arrangements, angles and cables. If you
don't care about the special latch, or the shielding, you could get a quicky
two row header crimped on a length of ribbon cable at most electronics
distributors. But, BEWARE: some older UNIXpcs use 7400 series chips to drive
the cable. Newer machines use 26LS31s to drive the cable. In other words, it
might not work, or it might be flaky.
