I believe the little Panasonic notebook also used a 24 pin version.
Panasonic FH-2000 / Nixdorf PC05 looks like 28 pin and just a bit
different shape.
Very similar but no key slots in the end walls, and it's hard to tell
from the only pic I see, but the corner shapes don't look exactly the
same. Same overall concept, but not the exact same shape. Like if you
had a Molex 78802 carrier and shaved off the center key tabs on the
ends, it looks like it still wouldn't fit in the Panasonic socket.
I know there's a few other similar but different shapes out there too.
One has polarity by having a thick chunk of wall in one corner. I don't
remember what computer had it though so I can't find a pic.
I just noticed several listings on ebay for Allen Bradley SLC-500 parts,
and they have the 28-pin.
For a change these are using 28Cxxx not 27Cxxx

And the socket:

That's the kind of thing I always imagined these must have been used for
most. Countless obscure industrial applications.

Is it really the same shapes & dimensions but only fewer pins? I can
make that into a variable no problem, where you change 28 to
whatever,
and it generates a 2-to-whatever pin version.
A little bit later tonight.
