I was wrong - 25 pins.  The drive does not have a manufacturer listed.
The ribbon cable connection on the drive is 2 rows of 25 pins.
Above that is a row of 25 "holes" that look like  they would take 
a "long skinny device with lots of leads in a row" you desribe.
I can only assume that it is for the terminating of the SCSI chain.

Where can I get such a device?  Noone around here has one or
can find one in catalogs.  I called JDR Electronics, but they 
didn't know what I am talking about.
