You're referring to the so-called (and incorrectly so) Centronics connector.

This is really an Amphenol 57 series connector, and is the basis of certain 
telco products (in its 50-pin incarnation), certain SCSI products (also in 
its 50-pin incarnation), certain printer products (in its 36-pin 
incarnation), and IEEE-488 (in its 24-pin incarnation). Also, certain scanner 
products (in its 16-pin incarnation).

However, the IEEE-488 incarnation uses a completely different shell and shell 
attachment means, and is not from the Amphenol 57 series.

If you see a DD-50 or a DD-100 connector, then it is most certainly a data 
acquisition and control card.
