THX, it's definitely the Internal SCSI Hack, that's where I first mentioned the possibility of doing a ZipSlotHack.

I'll be using the custom PCB approach if I can find a source for a pin compatible controller. A successful chip-kwik'n of the controller off a Plus board with the pressurized hot air from my plastic welder tip will save me some money. Just doing my first bit of rework with a that down and dirtiest hot air reflow kluges will prove interesting all on its own! [] ]'>

I've got several adapter PCBs to clean up so I can have a photo-silk-screen made up or test my luck with photo-resist for home etching for the first time. I really like the silk screened enamel ink resist method. I can screen any number of blanks or gang dupes up any which way for tweaking the production count . . .

. . . it's the hand drill pressing of the holes that's the biggest PITA.
