I've got a PC2B-50 controller that came with the 150MB unit (DC37 on
the rear) and it's the same that was used with the 10MB Bernoullis.
Take a peek inside your box--you should see that the DC37 on the rear
connects to a 50 pin header on each drive. If not, I don't know
what's going on.
Note that I say "SCSI-ish". The later models were completely SCSI-1
compliant, but some of the earlier models didn't support all of the
SCSI command set for mass-storage devices.

It has the beige/putty case. I took a look inside of it and found the
DC37 feeding a 50 pin connector, just as you described.
I think I have a cabling problem. I was able to hack together a
solution that allowed me to connect directly to the drive, bypassing the
DC37 connector. The drive showed up on the SCSI chain, but that's as
far as I'm going to get without media.
So yes, I think it is SCSI. Just need to figure out the cabling
problem. The cable that I got looked like a sure bet - Centronics style
connector on one side, DC37 on the other.

PS: You must have quite a stash. I'll bet you're missing a PCjr though. :-)
