The Dock I has an internal 50 pin SCSI connector (Which I believe is
standard), and an external connector on the back of the case.  It's a
proprietary connector that resembles a GPIB (IEEE488) connector, so you
need a special cable from IBM that goes from their funky connector to a
centronics type connector.
