Most places I have been refer to them as "Amphenol connectors," unless they are specifically for parallel printers, in which case people refer to them as Centronics cables. The cables made from ribbon cable, with crimp-on square plastic headers are called, around these parts, "Berg cables" or "ribbon cables," due to the "Berg connectors," as Berg made most of them at one time. [ Caution: Digression Follows: ] My family is Canadian, and I was born in the U.S., so I have learned to be careful of a few words within the Anglophone world. I'll never forget my amazement at the fact that the word "table," used as a verb in business situations, meant approximately opposite things in GB and the US. And, God forbid I should ever mention putting on my pants to my aggressively Canadian half-brother. Sheesh. I got him back, though... he fancies himself quite the singer -- and actually is pretty good. He was overly proud of being in "The Sound of Music," and insisted upon singing "Edelweiss" for me. Okay, I tolerated that... but then he insisted that *I* sing along. Most rudely and forcefully did he insist. So, I pretty much HAD to do it. (He had challenged my ability to sing the German. Ahem.) I have at least as good a voice, and projected it fully.... only I sang, where "edelweiss" belonged, "affeschwanz." I think I ruined "The Sound of Music" for him. I KNOW he hears MY lyrics every time he hears that song. Heh, heh. On the bright side, he has not tried to force me to sing with him since then. Peace, Warren E. Wolfe wizard at voyager.net
