The Apollo cards I have have a strange connector. It appears to have two
coax and a half dozen wires in a DB form factor. I did not get any cables,
so I have no idea what connections are actually used. I can't see how you
could use a modern TR cable with that since it was 4 wire shielded twisted
pair. F connectors would imply coax.
