MDB Systems Inc. 1110 West Taft Av. Box 5508, Orange, Ca. 92613
DS2000 list-$3660 "basic chassis, no cannisters" has positions for two
       removable scsi or esdi disk drives.
D52 (DS2?) a cannister unknown whether scsi or esdi.
STYD 4703D2 NMDD, 600mb HD, pure speculation follows.
You have a scsi removable disk chassis.  You most probably will be able
to connect it to a Mac scsi if you select the correct scsi unit no.  These
are switches on the disk drives themselves.  I speculate that the device is
scsi because the Seagate ST4702N(N) is a scsi drive.  Software to format and
configure for the Mac is a different story entirely.  That is for someone else
to answer (also why this follow up is posted instead of e-mailed).
