Probably, but no TK50, then, and no possibility to patch the ROMs and
use the SCSI interface as a real SCSI interface (I've been trying to
get back to that project, but stalled when I realized that I don't have
a map of which byte corresponds to which socket).

I have a T128 that gave up a 5380 for a Supra controller (but I did a
nice, clean job and installed a socket for later - it's my only *bootable*
8-bit SCSI card).
