That not changing.

SCSI cables have/are "standard" specs. When still working, the sysadm, a MAC person, verified my experience about the 3.5 in diskettes on a Mac 512. The sysadm removed the hard disks from an iMac & a pc with OS/2; both hard drives were the same size made by Seagate. The pc was able to "see" the mac hard disk & able to reformat for install of an OS; the imac did not recognize the hard disk from the pc even if both hard disks were the same size & made by seagate.
I bought a 4 mm digital tape for backups. However, the tape drive unit was for an apple product; I was in the market to get the refurbished tape drive for it low price. The dealer stated that the imac 4 mm tape units always worked on the pc BUT the pc tape units don't work on the macs. As the for apple tape unit was a new drive at the same price as a refurbished pc unit, I bought the mac version which worked. BOTH tape units were using serial ports which were also a standard.
Another coworker who was/in an apple person from the days of the apple II, said there were rumors that even memory chips have a problem as only apple ram & those from orange micro worked; I think this was going too far tho.
Bluetooth is just a "standard" for connections but it is not a guarantee that it will work with every device. Ever see mention of Bluetooth problems with keyboards? Or can you ever connect multiple "master" Bluetooth device with a single client Bluetooth device?
