Old HP scanner

Better tell that to 99% of the manufacturers and sellers that use the terminology then. C50 or Centronics 50 is used more often than SCSI I to refer to these connectors. If I remember long ago PBX and multi-line phones had a centronics-like connector as well (or was it more like an IEEE-488)but I know it wasn't referred to as Centronics. By the way there's another connector known as a Centronics B connector, much smaller and look s lot like the SCSI II with clips. => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Richard Erlacher => Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 10:33 AM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: Re: Old HP scanner => => => Didn't we go through this "Centrronics" business once before?
