Looks like it is for a CF card.

150 pins, same as CF; I'd guess the same. – hyperslug – 2010-03-16T23:28:22.907

I'd say that is a Flash Card/PC Card/CardBus/PCMCIA Slot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card

Looks like a typical bay for a 2.5" hard drive.
IDE has a pin missing in the middle, and only 39/43 pins – BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft – 2010-03-17T02:24:10.947

People, look at the photo. 2.5" HDDs use a 44-pin connector (standard 40-pin IDE plus four extra pins for power). PC Card (PCMCIA) is 68-pin.
The connector in question is clearly 50-pin, and judging by the rails on the sides (black plastic), the metal ejector foot at the back (right-hand side), and the shallow depth, it's a CompactFlash slot.

I didn't count. I blame the photo quality! It's all dark over there! ;-) – goblinbox – 2010-03-17T02:21:33.637

Some kind of bus expansion? These were reasonably common on laptops that mated to base-stations.
It would help if you told us more about the computer.

I think it's a PCMCIA slot, but the specs you link to don't list such a slot type. Can you describe where the slot is and its dimensions?

2Can you supply a bit more context for the photo please. What device is it on? Roughly how big is it? etc. – ChrisF – 2010-03-16T20:00:39.947
