Hi, >A Centronics connector is NOT a 50pin connector. They were 36? pin >connectors???? The OLD SCSI connector LOOKS like a Centronics connector, >but it's 50 pins! boy, did I ever open a can o' worms! how about "50 pin centronics-style"? some documents refer to it as a "telco connector", as it is commonly used in the telephone industry. The SCSI-I document refers to it as "Shielded connector, alternative 2". They then reference "FCC document Part 68 Subpart F 68.500". That would really clear things up when placing an order with JDR... Whether technically right or wrong, these are terms that many vendors use to sell their products. I think the only thing that will please everyone would be a section that discusses the "specification" names along with the various "slang" terms that have evolved to describe each! -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzHe7tEAAAEEAM274wAEEdP+grIrV6UtBt54FB5ufifFRA5ujzflrvlF8aoE 04it5BsUPFi3jJLfvOQeydbegexspPXL6kUejYt2OeptHuroIVW5+y2M2naTwqtX WVGeBP6s2q/fPPAS+g+sNZCpVBTbuinKa/C4Q6HJ++M9AyzIq5EuvO0a8Rr9AAUR tBlTdGV2ZSBQYXNzZSA8c21wQGNzbi5uZXQ+ =ds99 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
