I have seen a photo which photoed a very old laptop.I want to know what's the interface.

i suspect it might be your notebook docking extension port. What notebook is it?

Yup, looks like a proprietary port.

I see this picture which is from a re-manufactured notebook.
You know ,in China lots of people import the discarded electronic products ,then use a new crust as a new product.
I just want to know what's the port.
It must have been used by ThinkPad

Looks like an old Floppy connector

I agree with Falcone, I think it is the low profile 26 pin connector for an external floppy drive. Some of the Thinkpads used the 26 pin connector others used a 36 pin connector.

I am sure that port is a connetor of floppy drive.

Yup! Looks like you got it - a floppy disk drive connector.
