Yes, we used to have some old Sun 3 machines with those connectors too.

We never used external terminators on the old Sun shoebox enclosures,
the drives had DIL terminator packs plugged straight onto the PCB. 'Twas
a bit of a pest if you needed to move a second drive from one machine to
another.

Those were the days, one 140 MB disk in a box about the size of an ATX
desktop case but several times heavier.
