My vote for the worst connector screw-up is the AT&T (Olivetti) 6300.
Its monochrome monitor used a DB25 to supply both the signals and 12 volts
to power the monitor.

DEC did something similar with the Pro, except they used a DA-15 connector
to carry video (monochrome as well as RGB), keyboard data (4800 bps UART)
and 12 volt power.
