DB-50 was the connector that was used on (many?  all?) Sun3's.
(I seem to recall it was 50; i could always find 67 pins, but never
what i wanted, which i seem to recall was 50...)

Three rows, pins size of db-25 pins (or close), D-shell case &
construction like db-25's except larger and the pins were arrayed in
three rows.
