But the Centronics parallel interface has nothing to do with SCSI, and
thus calling a particular type of SCSI connector a 'centronics connector'
is plain wrong. It's neither a Centronics interface nor even the same
connector as one (the SCSI connector is the 50 pin version, the
Centronics parallel printer interface uses the 36 pin one).
I often refer to these connectors as "centronics style". That way people know
what I mean, but I don't think it's technically wrong either... after all it
is a connector in the same "style" as the centronics printer connector :)
