I understood there was room to mount a 3.5" drive on the logic board
(assuming disabled termination on the board, enabled it on the drive,
and possibly soldering in a 50 pin header).

I noticed some question marks there on the pinout I have. Thanks for
the confirmation. I'll beware of that (potentially nasty) one.
