    That is the RAID drop cable from an IBM Passplay or Cheetah to the upper
    RAID bay in an 85/95, possumbly a 77 as well.

    What uses those type of connectors?

    Are they an IBMism or just a rarely seen in the wild SCSI connector?

    They almost make me think of (High Voltage) Differential SCSI.

    High voltage SE SCSI drives.

    Both RAID controllers use a 68 position edgecard connector to connect to
    the internal drives. Same Molex connector as used on the Corvette /
    Turbo Corvette 68 pin SCSI port.
