Adding SCSI was tedious. I had to manually crimp the 50 to 25 pin adapter. Pin 1 is ground and attaches to the standoff nuts.

The DB25 port fits perfectly where the old connector went. The only change is I cut up a parallel port bulkhead from a a PC and press fit it in with epoxy.

Here's a mock-up of the internals. This is about what the final mounting places will be.

Power and the on/off switch can't go under the SCSI port because of the design of the back so I decided it would be best to have it on the other side of the case and route it over to the PSU. Here's what the back of the AppleFile now looks like:
