   Nowadays I think you have to build one yourself... Another option would   
   be a SatanDisk connected to the internal ACSI-connector. Then you can   
   get rid of the ancient SCSI-disk and the SCSI interface.   
      
   You can also replace the EL backlight with a reflective sheet and some   
   LEDs. If you do this you get rid of the two major power consumers in   
   the Stacy - the disk and the backlight. Fitting a battery might make   
   sense now :-)

   I don't know, I don't own a Stacy anymore. I had three, sold two and   
   broke one :-/

   I have no idea, but if it's the same as the Mega ST bus then there are   
   some buffers involved.   
      
   What do you want to connect to this bus?
