The connector on the back of the drive is one of the adapters between the
odd RL-style connector (on the outside) and the 40 pin Berg on the
inside. It is exactly the same part as the connector you put between the
other and of the RL-type cable and the 40 way ribbon cable back to the
controller.
I remember raiding those connectors off scrapped RL power supplies to
connect up the RLs (and for that matter RK07s) in one of my systems.
