No, it's normal 50pin high density... I've tried with and w/o
external termination afterthat hdd, but no success... However,
I'll really need that connector because I need to disk-boot
two machines as they don't do bootp/tftp (but mop, and the
two tested mop servers can't handle these machines;( and
constantly plugging/unplugging hdds with those internal
flat ribbon cables isn't fun at all...
