IIRC, that expansion bus was pin-pin compatible with a

Actually, it should be, as I recall a couple companies doing just that so
that they could mount small hard disk controllers in the EX/HX expansion area,
though the problem then is getting the card to fit. There was even one
vendor, called Howard Medical, I believe, that managed to squeeze a hard disk
into the 2nd floppy bay.
