I just don't know why there would be a 40-pin SCSI connector when 50-pin is the absolute standard. 40-pin may be SCSI-compatible, but, by definition, it isn't really SCSI – it is somebody's proprietary system which uses SCSI protocol but not standard SCSI connections, etc. Why people do things that way absolutely mystifies me. Standard is standard is standard. Non-standard is a pain in the *** expletive deleted. Pretty soon you'll have me ranting on about those despicable non-standard SIMMS some folks use on Amiga boards …. Standards exist for universal compatibility. I like standards.
