Do you mean 50 pin D or 25 pin D? 25 pin D, while it is not part of the standard, has gained considerable popularity since the introduction of the Macintosh Plus in 1986. In addition to Macintoshes, I have seen it used on Commodore Amigas, and IBM-compatible systems. Not that I think it's a good connector for SCSI, but it has become a defacto standard of sorts. -- Eric L.
