Planning stages for a new plugin for my Tektronix 5110 mainframe oscilloscope. I have traced all of the pins on the card-edge connector from the (ample) technical documentation and think I know enough to have a go at a custom Y axis plugin and _maybe_ an X axis one.

The connector which matches the specification for this 1970's scope is actually obsolete (shock!) but it looks like it's physically compatible with the JAMMA connector used by arcade machine enthusiasts and readily available on eBay. I have two finger boards and sockets coming from Markham, Ontario.
