NATO Interface Bus


A new page was added that covers NATO Advanced Data Storage Interface [NADSI], or STANAG4575. The specification details a board used for removable memory. The electrical interface used Fiber Channel, but one of the possible physical interfaces is a 50-pin D connector. The D-connector must be used for legacy systems, seems a bit odd. Also it uses the out-dated MIL-DTL-24308 series connectors. It seems under normal conditions the interface will be on a MIL-DTL-38999, which makes a little more sense.

Any way for the NATO name, I added a link from the 'N' interface Buses, and for the STANAG name a link was added from the 'S' interface buses page.
