I've an ACB-4000 that I think works, and hopefully some working ST-506
drives too.

However even back when they were far less of an antique and I was far
more in need of additional disk space I still couldn't convince myself
to attach them to my 3B2 and use them....   :-)

Even the 3B2 hasn't been powered up in 4-5 years!  ;-)
