Thing is, SCART was apparently first used in consumer

which probably means it was thought up in the mid-70's. Edge connectors and/or
circular DIN connectors were probably more common on computer equipment of

If my memory isn't too faulty, DB25's (used to be called "Cannon
connectors") go back at least to the early 60s. Ma Bell used them on
her datacomm equipment, complete with the chunky bakelite hoods.
