It has the SCSI-2 mod (can somebody remind me what this is, by
the way?) and the Parity mod.  It originally came with one expansion
box with one hard disc but this is now part of my main MDFS, although
you should be able to connect up just about any 50-pin SCSI drive
to it with a suitable power supply.

The dead one is here:

I got mine from another MDFS I happened to have. I then put the
dead one to one side to try and get around to seeing if Design IT
still do MDFS mods, as my spare (ie, "dead") MDFS needs the SCSI-2
mod.

What has it got? Parity mod? SCSI-2 mod? Any drives?
