MO question

In a nice freebie haul that included a 128M Quadra 950, a 660AV,
a Syquest external, an HP ScanJet IIc, DeskWriter C, there was
an Optima Concorde 600 meg magneto-optical drive. This is
the Sony SMO-E501 mechanism.

On the back of the external SCSI box, there was a DIN-5 connector,
like a keyboard connector, that piqued my curiousity. Inside,
I saw that it was simply an external connector for 5 volt power.
What might have this been used for?
