Well it's not entirely meaningless, since I have ordered cables and gotten  
them by using that reference.  Could be they just knew what I was talking  
about even if it wasn't technically correct (or what most people wanted

However, I believe what I was calling a ``SCSI-2'' is 50-pin ``micro scsi''.

The ``SCSI-1'' connector is the Centronics (big wide thing with side clips).
