- The numbering is only 1 to 1 if you use the following number schene, which
- is not the numbering scheme used for labelling connectors.
-
- Centronics connector:
-
- 1 3 5 7 49
- ...
- 2 4 6 8 50
-
-
- DB-50 connector:
-
- 1 4 7 49
- 3 6 ... 48
- 2 5 8 50
-
- The nice thing about this numbering scheme is that if you can find IDC
- connectors of each type you can just clamp one on each end of a 50 pin
- ribbon cable.
