The SCSI standard made some attempt to specify connectors, albeit a half-
hearted one with a couple of options. Unfortunately, the pinheads working
for certain manufacturers think it is their god-given right to use a new
and different connector any time the old one proves slightly inconvenient.
There is, unfortunately, a considerable tradition of this sort of nonsense
in the PC business, and it's not likely to stop.
