"Centronics" incorrectly refers to the Amphenol 57-series connector family, which became the de-facto standard for: 1) HP-IB (IEEE-488), in its 24-pin incarnation, 2) Centronics-type parallel interface printers, in its 36-pin incarnation, 3) SCSI-1 (SCSI-N), in its 50-pin incarnation, and 4) Telco twisted pair, also in its 50-pin incarnation. What you have is most likely a SCSI-2 (narrow) drive in a SCSI-1 (also narrow) box. FWIW, the Yamaha 8x24S drives were SCSI-3 (narrow) drives in a SCSI-2 (also narrow) box. And the beat goes on ... no standardization. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
