Anyone recognize this as being part of any particular system? SCSI carrier that plugs into a PATA connector frame that goes into ?? I have a pile of the carriers with drives brought to me for transfer, all early 2000's, no info. There's a Fostex D2424 system and a different style of drive carrier with it also, and a bunch of raw drives that could possibly go in either type carrier. Possible this was part of an external backup system for the Fostex, which has the optional DVD drive.   |

I posted this in another place, so copying here... I right clicked on your images and clicked "search google" which then finds similar photos.... and got this: www.dstor.com/p_DT51IDEX-P.shtmland it looks to be the correct carrier, but that website is so 2001.... and I can't find much else. They would definitely be PATA with the 40 pin connectors. SCSI-1 used a 50-pin connector. if you are looking to fire them up, this claims to do SATA and PATA (aka 3.5" IDE) -- www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Drive-Adapter-Converter-External/dp/B00BIE996S |

Yeah the tray mating to the frame is SCSI high density DB 50 pin. The Fostex recorder carriers use a 3 row 48 pin connector I haven't ID'd, maybe a proprietary Fostex thing. |

Maybe they used it for SCSI, but typically it was a 50-pin connector and every other pin was ground (to reduce cross talk). But there are 25-pin SCSI connector implementations too (that were very limited on cable length) - those were mostly used for external CD-ROM or tape drives, and single point to point connections. |

Probably PATA drive to SCSI, then SCSI back to PATA. Weird. |
