Does anyone have a modern source of pins that fit the socket holes in
the Computer Lab?  ISTR there are a few of us here who have an H-500,
but very few, or no, patch cables.  I think Molex pins have been tried
and rejected.

Also, the 1969 Computer Lab Handbook is on bitsavers (in
'dec/handbooks').  I recall a 8.5"x11" book on the Computer Lab, newer
layout, probably a 1970s publication date, possibly a teacher's guide.
I was given one as a kid, but it vanished decades ago.  Anyone
remember this?  Anyone have one for scanning?
