  Interesting mental image... by Avium2002-06-03 12:46:45
    More than likely, it's a SCA connector by Freakazoid2002-06-03 13:07:53

          SCSI Connectors : by Avium 2002-06-03 20:17:56
  • 50-pin : Old hard drives, some tape drives and CD burners. 10 Meg/sec transfer rates.
  • 68-pin : two styles. SE and LVD. The newer and faster connections. 20 ~ 160 Meg/sec transfer rates.
  • 80-pin : A 68-pin connection + 12 pins for other stuff. Namely power and SCSI ID. Used in RAID arrays and disk packs because it allows the drive to be "slapped" into place without any configuration as the bus sets everything. May sometimes be "hot-swappable", meaning it can be removed when the machine is still running. Not all 80-pin drives are hot-swap so make sure before you try.
