I guess I'll add my two bits.  All connectors in military aircraft
are SUPPOSED to be different, so that things can't be misconnected.
This incldes such things as hydraulic lines. This is refered to
as "Murphy-proofing".  It doesn't always work.  I found a case in
a F4 where the radar indicator, and attitude control display could
be plugged in to each others cable.  The radar then indicated
a problem in the transmitter, and the attitude system "passed" self-check.

HP is in no way responsible for anything I say here.
In fact, it may have been generated by a noisy 'phone line.
