One thing I saw that is disturbing is the first picture has "degaussed 6
something 2012".
Hard drives turn into bricks if you degauss them because they need a
servo track recorded on one track to function. SMD drives which are the
next older large drive could record with self clocked data, and later 5
1/4 drives such as the first Tulin 40mb drive had something called
embedded servo which could be restored with a program.
However this drive might be tricky to make go if iyou don't have a
program to issue a low level format to it, besides formatting high level.
Too bad they didn't just leave it. ONe has to wonder what was so hush
hush on a dos 6 system with 40mb or storage.

That was my own
reaction too - "this sounds like iSCSI".

Usually but not
necessarily. There's no reason something couldn't be
built which looks like an ordinary SCSI card to the host but speaks
iSCSI out its other side; indeed, I'd be surprised if nothing of the
sort existed yet, though configuration may be a bit interesting.
