They really aren't proprietary.  They have adapted the SCSI-2 spec. 
alternate-1 50-pin mini D.  The Alternate-2 type (50-pin centronics)
is just too big to fit on the end of a card.  Check other vendors
(they are made by Amp.) the prices are just about equal.
The Mac/Apple version (25-pin Dshell) IS NOT SCSI COMPLIANT!!
They share ground wires, not a good idea!
