I checked
again. The connectors on the VAX 4000/500 are identical to
SCSI connectors.
But the wiring to the ribbon cable is different. DSSI uses a
1:1
mapping of pin numbers. The HD50 connector for SCSI is wired this way
to the ribbon cable:
HD50 ribbon
1 1
2 25
3 3
4 26
5 5
6 27

Yes. But SCSI cables are
often twisted pair (pins 1+25, 2+26, 3+27,
...) so depending on the DSSI pinout it may be possible that different
DSSI signals go on the same twisted pair. This can lead to
interference if the cables are long.
