Don't trust connectors to tell you anything about bus speeds.  Even if
there aren't specs for some of these things, that doesn't stop people
from using them.  Those 50-pin connectors, like on the SS2/SS20 and the
like can certainly do 5MB/sec up through, hmm, probably 40MB/sec, if I'm
doing the math right.  Though I don't think I've seen any that actually
use that connector, most folks have gone to the wide bus instead of
ramping speeds/voltages like that.

P.S.  If you get bored and want to bounce SCSI questions off of
somebody, I used to understand how most of it worked.  :-)
