Don't know the name of them, but those are the special screws used for assembling hardboard furniture. I believe Rockler may carry them.

Dan, Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. Winkldog
Winkdog,
Those are called Confirmat screws used for MDF. Don't know what the drive shown is but they do come in Posidrive and Torx. You need a stepped bit to drill the pilots. Fastenal or Mcfeeleys have them.
