That's
right. It has the pads and traces for probably a 50 pin header just
behind the floppy connection header. Is this where I'd plug in the
hard disk controller if I had it? And I don't suppose anyone ever made
a SCSI host adapter for this thing? being able to use SCSI disks in it
like I do in nearly every other machine I own would be VERY handy. (yes,
I'm a SCSI bigot. I lothe IDE).
No, that is where you would plug in the adapter card from a K10 that
converts the signals to 40 conductors that are required by the WD1002-HDO.
Actually, on the downstream side of the adapter card you are tremendously
close to an IDE interface. As I understand it, the IDE interface is
premised on the commands that are required by the WD1002-nnn controller.
zI have forgotten the exact model, but it must be near to the WD1002.
