[comp.sys.mac] Macintosh XL, SCSI, and hard disk drives.

Is there a SCSI board for the Macintosh XL? It looks simple enough to
have been done but I have had little luck even finding anyone selling
prototyping boards for the XL.  Sun Systems Remarketing has introduced a
20Meg drive but I would rather invest the money in a hard disk drive
that I can later use when I finally, if ever, decide to dump my XL. 

On a related note, I notice that the 5 Meg Profile Hard disk uses a
Seagate ST-506 drive- the same hard disk drive interface used in IBM
PCs.  Has anyone tried upgrading the Profile with a 10 or 20 Meg IBM
PCish ST-506?
