standard SCSI is that Apple uses a 25 pin port while the standard
calls for a 50 pin port.  Apple claims not to need the extra 25
pins, so they're not going to use them.  Recently, a bunch of
computer manufacturers got together to discuss the standard.
Apple, surprisingly, was not one of the first organizations to
attend.  They got their act together later though and seem to be
working towards more standardization.  Maybe we'll see more
standards coming out of Apple...   Nahh.  ;-)
