1. No disk controller at all.
It had a drive at one time, I doubt this...
2. A ST-506 controller that also takes a straight
34-pin floppy cable.
(i.e. it has a floppy disk controller on the disk controller)
3. A single-bus SCSI controller that also takes a straight 34-pin floppy cable.

4. A dual-bus SCSI controller that does not take a straight 34-pin
floppy controller. This used "SCSI floppy" drives, i.e. plain
floppy drives with SCSI electronics bolted onto them.
The disk controller, if any , lives on the "upper deck" that drives
are bolted onto. If you have a disk controller, what sort of connectors
does it have?
There's one large connector to the motherboard, 2 scsi plugs, and what
looks like a SCSI-2 plug. Guess I had a scsi floppy. Darn.
