Building up the table a little further:

				host box	peripheral box
				--------	--------------
	IBM PC			Centronics 50?	Centronics 50?
	Apple Macintosh		DB25		Centronics 50 mostly
	Apple LaserwriterNTX	Centronics 50	Centronics 50
	SUN-3, old SUN-4	DB50		DB50
	new SUN-4, (SUN-3/80?)	Miniature 50	???
	Digital DECstation3100	Miniature 50	Centronics 50

By the "Miniature 50" I mean the type of connector on the Mercury cable set
for the Xylogics 753 controller: I think it's a ZIF connector, and it's got
spring-loaded clamps on the sides of the connector.
