In a word, yes. I was trying to avoid the flamewar we got into a while
back when some one else called it a 50-pin centronics (well, at least that
was part of the flamewar). Basically, Centronics is a printer interface
type, not a type of connector. Amphenol (along with others I'm sure) made
the 36pin connector commonly called a 'centronics' connector.
