Sony Alpha data cable

[Pablo2000]

Hi. I have been given help on replacing an old Alpha camera here recently. What I need to know is what is the cable connector for the Sony Alpha data cable that use to connect to my PC. I know this is an ancient camera now but it does not seem to be any of the USB types. I need a cable for this but could go to Amazon or Bay for one. I just need to know the connector type. Thanks. I think it is a Sony specific connector.

I think I have sorted this now. It seems there is an 8 pin version of USB. This is odd as the other end of the cable will be a standard 4 pin USB A. What happens to the other 4 wires? Dosn't make sence. Is there supposed to be a cable with an 8 Pin USB A or something?
