What Kind Of Screw Is This?

I need to find a screwdriver that fits this, and if anyone out there in Internet-land knows what kind of screw this is it would be very helpful.

The screw in question (or screws, since there’s four of them) is located on an IBM drive-tray for my servers. I would very much like being able to replace the drives myself, and thus need to know what kind of screw it is. I’m leaning towards this being some weird IBM proprietary screw, but I also feel it should be pretty easy to locate a driver for it.

Basically it looks a lot like some torx-variant, but it has a pin in the middle. I hope you can make it out from my crappy macro-photography.

    I’m not sure what the exact standard or specification is named but I think I have seen tools at my work that would get the job done.

    It seems like some kind of security torx.
    I found this one. I think it will work perfectly and it’s not that expensive ;)

    Best regards from Germany :)

    Det där är väl en sån där “tamperproof” torx, dvs en vanlig torx med en pinne i mitten.

    Du kan i regel använda vanliga ihåliga torx av rätt storlek för jobbet.

    Det ska finnas på CO men kan vara bökigt o hitta, då hela poängen är väl att dessa skruvar inte ska tas lös :P

    Farsan hade då dessa ihåliga torxar vill jag minnas men det hjälper väl inte. Dock finns dom!
