  P.S.: When it comes to indistinguishable connectors, it's even
better when the mutually-incompatible things will be physically
damaged if you connect them to the wrong thing.  Such as:

  (1) The "AT power" connector, which is needlessly split in two, and
can fry the motherboard if you don't put it on the right way ("black
to black")

  (2) High-voltage different SCSI, which can fry low-voltage SCSI
components if you accidentally connect them to the wrong bus

  Great designs, there.
