What type of connector do Northstar M1 M3 use?

I want to build a cable to run my M1 & M3 at home in demo mode. Both
navigators use the same connector & pinout for their power (connector
P15 on M3, not sure about M1). The connector looks like a Centronics
24-pin, but the edges are more rounded. I showed my local electronic
store my M3 but they have no idea of the type.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The M1 and M3 use a 24 pin connector. It was used for HPIB GPIB
once; the 50 pin versions are also called Centronics. The real
connector family is Amphenol Blue Ribbon.

The M3 has an additional 36 pin connector of the same family.
For demo mode, I'm not sure whether you would have to have it.
