[R-390] MB Connectors

[Tisha Hayes]

I think that the weakness of the standard for the MB connector and the rise
of other connector types led to the demise of the MB connector. It really
does not have a standard impedance rating and is a bit freakish. I suspect
that there is probably some excess inventory that has been sitting on
shelves for decades now. For those of us who need to make an extender cable
or replace a bad connector end they should be about as easy to find as an
unused ballast tube.

I have not had much success in finding the standards doc on the MB connector
family, just occasional references to it's capability. Unfortunately when
you try to look it up using google, you need to filter through all of the
*MB* results and ignore references to a multi-pin connector that is called
MB by a Japanese company.
