Well, my experience seems to suggest that Apple
_never_ followed accepted
hardware standards, particularly with respect to connectors. Even their
first serial card for the Apple ][ was wired as a DCE (and not a DTE
which just about every other computer that I've come across is).
I'm trying to think of any interface on the Mac that is in any sense
'standard'. And no, I can't think of one...
At least on the early U.S. models, the power cord seems to use the
"normal" connector and wiring.
