Older proprietary connector ID

A relative of mine apparently got a laptop a number of years ago for use with some specialized software and hardware. She never got to use it due to life pressures and when she finally pulled it out of storage it didn't work, so I've been asked to see if there's anything I can do. Obviously one option is to try tracking down a replacement but I don't know what kind of connector this is, and of course she's long since lost any documentation.

Any guesses as to what it is would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, this is a parallel port:

That (original image in the OP) is a docking connector.
 
Yeah this isn't a parallel port, I know that much. This one is almost twice as wide. Also I think parallel ports utilize pins (the port having holes for the pins to enter), whereas this one looks to use a card-like contact (think old game cartridges) on each side of the middle separator (as in one above and one below).

Sorry, I didn't think to get a picture showing that. You can make out the two slots and maybe even see the internal connections if you look/zoom hard enough, though I can't on my phone.
