Do you recognize this connector?

It's from a Toshiba Tecra  730CDT from 1996. Yes, classic Pentium 150 vintage. This is the connector from the hard drive caddy (which is missing). I need to either get a new caddy for this thing (almost impossible) or know which type of connector it is. It looks very much like SCSI, doesn't it? But I don't think it's gonna be this easy. It's most likely some proprietary connector. If you know a laptop where this connector was also used, please tell me.

good ol PCMCIA card slot... sad to say the Army still actually uses that interface. Atleast they did when I got out in 2010.

IBM used a 60 pin SCSI interface called HDCN60.

IBM's early RS6000 workstations sometimes used a "High Density Centronics" connector, which was a Centronics-style connector with smaller pins and shell. For some reason[citation needed] it had 60 pins, and is thus known as the "HDCN60"

From wikipedia.

there's a whole range of scsi connectors, some 3.5" hotswap hard drives for the datacenter of the day used 80pin connectors.

Looks like Ultra SCSI, but that's just a proprietary IDE connector.
