Ih the years the MicroVAX II was made, nobody had to think about special magic,
as computers were some kind of magic themselves. This is a absolutely usual
50pin ribbon cable with IDC connectors punched on. I think you just have to
keep care of the distances between the connectors, just look at the "template",
the original cable for this.
