I had an early Triton 4 digital model that had the 6 pin cinch jones plug on
its rear panel. The matching 262G supply had a 6 pin socket (I don't
remember if it was on the supply or on a cable permanently connected inside
the supply). ALL other Triton rigs I've owned or seen used the 4 pin molex
connector.

I thought that connector was a 4-pin?
I don't have the rig here so will have to check -- I ordered
the connectors from TenTec earlier today and he asked me if
they were 6 or 4.
Perhaps a difference between the analog and digital models?
