I've picked up a hard disk and hopefully someone out there can give me
some information on it.

Supposedly it came out of a Compaq 386/20.  The following information can
be obtained from the drive :

Manufactured by Magnetic Peripherals, Inc. (a Control Data Corp)
MN 94208-75
PN 77747222
LOT O-8745
Type 47

I've taken it to a few people in the area, and all I've been told is that
"Gee, I've never seen anything like this." or "Must be something new."

It is a 60 meg half height, and I believe something called Controller
Integrated (part of the controller seems to be attached right to the drive).

Instead of the normal (to me) 34 pin/20 pin edge card connectors, there
is one connector with two rows of 12 pins (minus one for a key) and
another connector with two rows of 20 pins (minus one for a key).

Has anyone seen such a beast?  Can I get a controller (AT) for it and if not,
is it sellable?

All info appreciated.
