Better tell that to 99% of the manufacturers and sellers that use the
terminology then. C50 or Centronics 50 is used more often than SCSI I to
refer to these connectors. If I remember long ago PBX and multi-line phones
had a centronics-like connector as well (or was it more like an IEEE-488)but
I know it wasn't referred to as Centronics.
By the way there's another connector known as a Centronics B connector, much
smaller and look s lot like the SCSI II with clips.
