What is this drive? Mark Unseen   Jan 12 14:37 UTC 1995

I have recently come into possession of a Hewlett-Packard model
97500-85600 hard drive.  A list of drive info I have says it's a 20 meg
SCSI drive.  I have no reason to doubt it but the connector is a 40 pin
header connector which evidently also carries the power for the drive since
there is no separate power connector that I can see.  Has anybody seen
a SCSI connector like this?

Is this one of those 2.5" SCSI drives?  I have a 20M SCSI that came out
of a PB100 made by Conor.  It has a 40 pin SCSI connector (With power)
and a 10 pin address/LED connector.  If this is like yours, I'd bet the
SCSI pinouts would be identical.

It is a 3.5" full height drive made in 1986.  There seem to be several
SCSI connectors.

A drive of that vintage should have a standard 50 pin DIL connector if it's
SCSI.  If it doesn't, then it's HP's own inhouse design and you may be
better off contacting them.

That's what I was afraid of.  Well, it'll make a nice paperweight.
