Well, actually, your Adaptec card came with a standard connector. PComputing
just used it.

It would be even better if fast SCSI2 or SCSI3 came as the
default SCSI. At *least* SCSI2 chains can have slower (5MBS)
disks on them mixed with fast disks. But Apple's SCSI
implementations started out marginally standard, so with
MS-Apple, I have less hope.
