- The 50 pin cabling is known as twisted pair ground, and I suspect both SCSI I
- and SCSI II are identicaly in this respect. The SCSI II 50 pin connector,
- however, differ from SCSI I 50 pin in that the SCSI II is smaller physicaly.
- Actually it has the same apearance as the 25 pin version of the SCSI I
- connector, but with 50 tiny (easy to break) pins.
