Centronics. Centronics was a manufacturer of mainframe printers who
decided to use a standardized interface on their products, and it spread
across the industry over time. The original connectors were AMP Blue
Ribbon series 36 contact. Now part of TE Connectivity.

It's actually a pretty nice connector. It's hard to break and reliable
enough. Anybody miss cutting apart printer cables to run though walls and
then having to resolder the DB25 side back on?
