+===== X68000 Hard Disk =====
-All models of X68000 (even SASI-based models) seem to have standard pinouts for the external hard disk connector:

+==== Internal HD connector ====
+All X68000 machines have a custom internal hard disk connector.
+The pinout for the SASI-based machines is as follows:
+^Pin^Description^Pin^Description^
+|  1  | DB0  |  11  |GND|
+|  2  | DB1  |  12  |Unknown(Possibly for the HD access LED)|
+|  3  | GND  |  13  |/BSY|
+|  4  | DB2  |  14  |/ACK|
+|  5  | DB3  |  15  |/RST|
+|  6  | DB4  |  16  |/MSG|
+|  7  | GND  |  17  |/SEL|
+|  8  | DB5  |  18  |/C/D|
+|  9  | DB6  |  19  |REQ|
+|  10 | DB7  |  20  |/I/O|
+The pinout for SCSI-based machines(Taken from http://homepage1.nifty.com/ht_deko/x68ktune.html):

+The HDD access LED is nonstandard and mapped to pin 34 of the 50-pin internal SCSI connector. Pulling it low turns on the HDD LED. Most standard SCSI HDDs connect this pin to ground, resulting in the HDD LED staying permanently on.
