It has been acquired in 1999 http://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/06/business/tyco-completes-acquisition-of-amp.html http://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/06/business/tyco-completes-ac... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TE_Connectivity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TE_Connectivity is still there. http://www.te.com/usa-en/products/families/amp.html http://www.te.com/usa-en/products/families/amp.html they have 35 135 products under the AMP brand. My only source for it being AMP: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vintage-macs/iWdF6fBpIhg https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vintage-macs/iWdF6fB... Even if the author got it wrong and it was Amphenol and not AMP that's still fine, Amphenol exists too :)
