No, IBM PCs just happen to use the same drives as the
rest of the world
-- i.e. most of the other computers I have here. Many of said computers
were designed long before the IBM PC.

Which is the IBM proprietary SCSI connector? If you are
thinking of the
DD50 (used on the RS6000?) then it's actually a _standard_ connector
specified in the SCSI standards. It was used by many other manufacturers
(Sun, ICL, to name but 2).
What is a DD50? I'm thinking of the connector used on PS/2s, which looks like
a small Centronics connector.
