In current lingo, `Centronics' does not necessarily imply `36-conductor
parallel interface'.  50-conductor connectors with the similar shape and
edge connector are oft called `Centronics SCSI' connectors.  (I still call
them `25-pair telco plugs' on a regular basis.)  Why that hasn't extended to
cover the 24-conductor {HPIB,IEEE}-488 connectors, I dunno.  ;)
