These use a non-standard combination power-signal cable
meant for the 100tx model. The toshiba 3.5" drive kit is
available in this price range from eletro-tek in Chicago,
and has standard power connectors and 34-pin card edge.
This should be a direct replacement form a 5.25 inch half
height. You will have to redo your disk parameter tables
to take advantage of the new drive ( 2 sides, 80 tracks,
18 sectors/track ).
