I've found an Ampex Megastore ISA card that interfaces via a 50-pin header.
I've got the software for it, but no manuals, so I don't know what it's
supposed to connect to--it doesn't seem to be SCSI.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Chuck

At one time Ampex marketed something called Megastore that was bulk core
memory used as a disk replacement (large latency (for core) but high
bandwidth)

Apparently, Ampex used the term "Megastore" for a bunch of different
things. Googling around, I found this information (in German):

Apparently, the PC Megastore was a 20 MB hard drive packaged with a backup
streamer. I suspect that the 50-pin header might be SASI, but that's just
a guess.
