Technically speaking, there's only one size of "Centronics" connector
and it's 36 pin. Old SCSI devices use an Amp "Ribbon" connector of
50 pins. I've also heard it called a "CHAMP" connector, but that
might or might not be proper usage.
You probably have the multiport serial option card
which is a smaller
(36) pin SCSI connector that connects to a cable that splits it out into
4 serial ports.
I have a MicroVAX-2000 with a DHT-32(?) option. It's a serial board
inside the box with a 36-pin connector in the optional interface "skirt"
that you need if you have an external RD-54 on the MicroVAX-2000. Is
this serial option similar? Is it really 4 extra ports? The uVAX-2K
option ends in a "harmonica" with 8 MMJ connectors. I take it the
uVAX-3100 just has a custom cable?
