3.0" drives (Amdek, Amstrad, etc.) use same connectors as "standard"
5.25", with "molex" power connector (I don't know what the CORRECT name is
for that connector).

It's part of the AMP (now TE) Mate-N-LOK series.
But, I have some 3.25" drives that use same connectors as "standard" 3.5"
drives, ("4 pin Berg"?) EXCEPT 5V and 12V are swapped in their positions
in the coneectors!
Not Berg, not even the same pitch. They're AMP Economy Interconnect
connectors, with a 2.50mm pitch.

THANK YOU.
Seriously.
The pedantic nature of this list makes it a real treasure.
Simple GOOGLE and Wikipedia are buried in too many "definitive" wrong
answers. Such as calling 36 pin Blue ribbon "Centronics", "DB9", or the
historic/antique uses of the yellow and black pair in phone wiring (NO, it
was NOT "always" for second line)
