I was at [H]ard OCP and they had a link to your SCSI review. Cant beat a little advertisement to bring more people here to the site.

Yup, me and Kyle go back quite a bit  But everytime we post an article, we submit it to most of the sites out there, it's up to them whether or not to post the news....

I found the article useful but, the picture on the cover story on your home page and at the beginning of the article show a DB25 connector. Doesn't SCSI use a 50 or 68-pin connector?

Technical details follow!
Actually, the first SCSI interface was virtually indistinguishable from the parallel interface. Originally, the interface had a DB-25 cable with a 50-pin Centronics connection at the other end. SCSI and Parallel share common roots, which is why it's easy for Iomega to make a parallel ZIP as well as a SCSI ZIP with little change to the device itself. In fact, I believe the I/O processor on the old ZIP 100s was equipped to handle either operation, but just had a hard-wired switch to determine which mode to use.
SCSI-2 has several different external connectors, including DB-50 and mini DB-50, and also an external 68-pin interface standard. Internal SCSI offers 50-pin and 68-pin cabled connections, as well as the SCA (Single Connection Architecture) interface, which is a single 80-pin connection that supplies data, power, and termination settings using a bracket card. I personally dislike it, because the cards are rather large and obtrusive, expensive, hard to find, and come loose easily. I have a Quantum Fireball ST with such an interface.
