Actually it's a mini din 8 on the serial side.

I don't know how many pins are on a parallel connector off hand, I've
been using the mac since 1985 :~)

? Generally SCSI cabling is 50pin and LOOKS like a parallel connector,
but is wider. There is also SCSI cabling using DB25 connectors on both
ends (male usually) with all the grounds tied together.
SCSI is a form of parallel now that I think about it...

PS Wide SCSI need 68 pin wiring...
