Someone here was wondering what might be the most common type of shielded SCSI connector found on the back of a computer or "shoebox". There are apparently two types (other than the ones found on Macintosh). One is a double row of 25 pins/sockets spaced 0.1" apart ala 3M ribbon cable connector. The other is a double row of 25 pins/sockets spaced 0.85" apart in a D-subminature profile housing such as might be found on the end of a 25 pair telephone cable. Any information in this area would be greatly appreciated. E-mail any replies and I'll summarize. -- Dave Shepperd. shepperd@dms.UUCP or motcsd!dms!shepperd Atari Games Corporation, 675 Sycamore Drive, Milpitas CA 95035.

I've seen a total of four kinds of connectors: 1. 50 pin like that kind that goes on the end of a ribbon cable. 2. 50 pin Centronics ( sp? ) 3. DB-25 ( Used by Apple ) 4. Very small 50 pin D shaped ( about 34mm in the longest dimension, according to my Swiss army knife ). #1 and #2 are in the SCSI standard. #3 is because there is not room for #1 or #2 on the back of a Mac plus. #4, I believe, is in the SCSI-2 standard.
