What is the name of the port shown in the picture?

This port is on my old NEC Versa LitePad Tablet PC

    Can you supply a bit more context for the photo please. What device is it on? Roughly how big is it? etc.

Looks like it is for a CF card.

    50 pins, same as CF; I'd guess the same.

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.

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.

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?
