*48*? pin Cinch connector? (HP 5060-8339?)

[Ethan Dicks]

Hi, All,

I was going through a box of old stuff and ran across something I've
ever seen before - a 48-pin 0.156" Cinch connector w/cable hood.  From
my Commodore days, I've seen lots of 6 and 12 and 44-pin connectors,
but not 48.  One telling thing is in fine print on the documentation
is the legend "HP Part No 5060-8339".  It suggests to me that it might
be useful for something in the HP1000 or HP2000 era, if I remember
anything about the innards.

So, Jay, or other HP fans... does this sound like a familiar connector?
