I'm somewhat confused by the SCSI connector situation. If this is a
FAQ, I wasn't able to find it anywhere.
DECstations and the Suns use a small 2-row connector on the system
unit. Sun shoeboxes use large 3-row connectors. Other devices such
as DEC disks/tapes use large Centronics-style connectors (no pins,
just a double-sided strip of contacts).
So:
- who uses which connector and when
- what kinds of adaptors and cables are available and from whom
- what are the names for the different connectors (so I don't
have to keep describing them each time)
- what standards, de facto or official, apply
