Like Tony, I've never seen a real DB37 and am
inclined to doubt such a
beast exists. Other sizes do exist, but they are rather nonstandard;
for example, (some?) NeXT grayscale machines' monitor connector was a
D-shell connector with, if I recall, 19 pins - somewhere between DA and
DB size. (You could make a mechanically compatible connector by
removing pins from a DB25M or by cutting away part of one end of a
DB25F, though I don't know of anyone who's actually done either.) I
suppose you could call it a DA.KKKKKKK... connector, but that would be
I've seen the 19 pin one called a DF19, and the 23 pine one (used
somewhere on the Amiga, I believe) called a DG23. I don 't think those
are official
excessively geeky :) and doesn't account for the
way DE is actually
*smaller* than DD. (I assume DE was an afterthought.)
I beleive that is the reason. The DE size shell came out later.

!! Interesting. Where'd you see that, Tony?
