Probably not. All the DataFrame X20's I've seen (about five or six) uses
separate controller and MFM based HD. (It looked as if it is possible to
have two drives attached to the SCSI to MFM, but never tried it) If I
recall correctly, Apple SCSI cards (HS or not) have trouble working with
SCSI to MFM (RLL/ESDI/whatever) controllers...
