	When I bought my Sun shoebox (I bought it before getting the
3/50), I replaced its DB50 connectors for Centronics-50.  All I did was
take out the old connectors, crimp in the new ones, and enlarge the holes
(the Centronics connectors are slightly larger.  It worked quite fine with
my Macintosh, my Amiga, and the DECstation I am trying to use to netboot
the 3/50.
