Not entirely true - in fact, probably a dangerous assumption! The D style
connectors date WAY back, when computers used tubes!
Main problem is that the Amphenol connector is too
wide to properly fit
on a standard IBM card bracket (yes, OK, they should have made the
bracket wider...)
Can you fit two DB connectors on a card bracket? That may be one reason
they moved the RS-232 to the DE style.
