Then I'm still confused. I've known, seen, used, and continue to find
the term "DB-n" used throughout the computer industry (and I've been in
the industry since before there was an Altair). Even Apple, in the tech
spec page for the SE/30
(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112170) uses the term
DB-25 to identify the SCSI port. Does the physical object look any
different or is the designation simply based upon its presence on an
Apple-branded piece of gear?
My previous question still stands: what distinguishes a DB-nM or a
DB-nF from a Dx-nM or Dx-nF, respectively?
Yours in disembodied puzzlement,
Sp00ky
BTW: since the original item in question was a serial port adaptor, is
the DCE end DB-9 or DE-9?

No matter how paranoid you are, it isn't paranoid enough.
