How consistent are SCSI interface products (mainly disk and tape drives)
from different manufacturers? Are the differences more than just the
connectors? As far as I can tell each machine has a different connector,
but can one make adaptor cables and mix devices? Is the electrical
interface consistent enough for drivers to work successfully with many
devices? I have tried to summarize some of the connector types below.
Can anyone fill in the blanks?
IBM PC's (Western Digital boards) Centronics 50 pin socket
Mac's Centronics 50 pin socket
Sun DB50 socket
Digital (DS3100) ?
Apollo ?
Next ?
HP ?
. . .
Thanks for your help. Please respond via email.
