Thanks, again. > >Scott Birdwell ------- If the connector on the back of the "devices" is over two inches long with two diamond shaped spring clips, then it is what is usually called a C50, or Centronics 50. If the connector is about the same size as the one on old Macs (or the d25 size) but has pinch release clamps to hold it to the device, then it is an HD50.
