Hello,
I am new to the X68000 world, as well as to this forum.
I have received an X68k CZ-500.

Is it possible to add a hard drive to the CZ-500?

Thank you,
Tristano

hi
yes of course, like all of the x68000 series
yours has SCSI interface so it's easy

Hi Mez,
thanks for the reply.

Is it possible to add it internally?

thanks

More specifically,
I have a SCSI2SD v6.
Where is the internal SCSI connector I can connect to the SCSI2SD?

Thanks,
Tristano

not sure the CZ-500 has the internal plug, use the external one, it's more easy to swap SD card by the way

It has one. However, if yours didn't come with a cable you'll need to hunt one down. The board side connector is non-standard. I don't know of any source for these cables either unfortunately.

Also worth noting the external connector is also a bit weird, though it is a standard. (Just not a commonly used one) I don't recall the exact name, but double check before you order.
