Looks pretty generic to me--wide SCSI to narrow "blue ribbon"
connector. I've got a couple and they didn't come from DEC.
Why do folks insist on calling this type of connector "Centronics"?
I've even hear the "C" word applied to HPIB connectors. Centronics
never used the 50 pin version, did they?
I've heard them called Amphenol, CHAMP, telco, PBX and RJ21X
connectors as well as "Blue Ribbon" (shows my age). But why
"Centronics"?
