I've read that there is circuitry in the
expansion base (BA40A?) has circuitry . Does anyone know what the circuitry does? Is it
required for SCSI operation? (I hope not, or I'll have to kludge one up to make use
of pk2k SCSI boot-roms!)
IIRC the DHT32 has a small board in the skirt and the
external RD
interface may have a board as well. SCSI (for a TK50Z-FA, originally)
is just a cable. The 50-pin connector on the mainboard is correctly
wired for SCSI. It may well have TERMPWR active and not
current-limited though, if it matters to your target.
