The External SCSI
Connector
There
are
two
typical SCSI connectors on
computers
.
The
first
is the
2S
-pin
OB2S
connector
. This is the
standard
connector
used on the Macintosh computers. It
is a female
connector
, as shown in
Figure
2.S
[a]
, and is
similar
to the
printer
port
connector
.
00
not confuse one
of the
printer
port
connectors on the
computer
with the
SCSI connector should this type
of
connector
be used.
The
SO-pin
Centronics connector is the most
common
connector used
for
external SCSI connections on the
IBM-type
PC
computers. This
connector
is shown in
Figure
2.S
