Mystery Cable and Connectors
One end is a 50-pin Amphenol connector, as used for SCSI on many computer systems. The other end is a 29-pin square connector with a latch and a triangular polarising feature on the housing. One pin of the 5x6 matrix is missing, making it 29-pin. There's a sliding sleeve that retracts the locking mechanism when you pull on the connector to unplug it.
It looks very similar to the Apple HDI-30 SCSI connector, but it's not. The Apple connector has all 30 pins, and has no latch or polarising feature. I have an Apple cable, and comparing the two side-by-side, they're clearly different.
So what is this one?
