That's from chapter 4 of the SCSI-2 specs, for the 50-pin connector.
I don't think the mini-DB (``high density'' or ``SCSI-2'') connectors
differ in the principle pinout from the old Amphenol (``Centronics'')
parts.

What you're referring to as ``Apple'' is a cut-down pin assignment, so
it fits into a DB-25 connector.  I don't assume you need this one.
Aside from Apple, i think it's mainly HP Scanners and SCSI Zip drives
that come with this (crippled) form.
