Ok,
Likely that is something else. I'd expect the 34pin to be floppy and
maybe MFM hard disk.
The 50pin could be... QIC02, QIC24 or maybe the old Hard disk interface
used for the 8" hard disks (SMD?) like the SA4000.
!983 SCSI ws likely SASI, but many tapes and disks used a 50pin parallel
like interface back then too.
