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.
