The second internal SCSI connector on the maxine motherboard is immediately
forward of the floppy controller and appears to be terminated the same way
that the first one is. Of course, to install the disk properly you need to
a) obtain a mounting bracket and similar short SCSI cable, and b) remove
any floppy drive (unless you do something @i(extremely) clever
mounting-wise.
