Why Do We Call These “DuPont” Connectors?
I’m from the same generation, so if you say “Amphenol connector” without further qualification then I’ll assume you’re referring to a 25-pair microribbon.
Unless the context is printers, in which case you obviously mean a 36-pin Centronics.

IEEE 1284 is what I remember when stocking the printer cables on peghooks.
