    Would make a good replacement for 50 50z

    with proprietary drive... Just solder in a hard drive power adapeter

    The problem with that adapter is there isn't a lot of documentation for it. I don't see a page for it on https://www.ardent-tool.com/storage/adapters.html

    The ADF could be found for it elsewhere, maybe, but at a quick glance who knows if it's bootable or if the reference disk will detect scsi devices with it.

    Looking at J3, what SCSI activity LED uses R, Common, Common, L?

    "J3 internal 4 pin header (R-C-C-L) for case mounted SCSI Bus / HD
    activity LED header and the traces lead to J4, which is an outline for a
    dual LED for an external SCSI Bus / HD activity."

    Oh, really?
