Just a thought...

Just from looking at the one in the Profile, and
not having
another 506 to directly compare it to, it looks like the Apple board
is being used in place of whatever circuit card it would normally
have. In fact, the interface to the drive is a single ribbon cable
coming in from the side vice the dual data/control cables normally
associated with the 506-type drives.
Jeff, you are correct. For whatever reason that Apple had a habit of, the
normal board was replaced by a custom Apple board. I doubt you could drop
in a non-Apple replacement drive and have it work.
