That 2.5" x 3/8" card is, most likely, an IDE <-> SCSI adapter card - does it look like it could be bolted on to a laptop drive?

If so, you are very lucky - a replacement laptop drive can be gotten very cheaply - the adapter cards are expensive. (FYI 20 Gig IBM Travlestar HDs are under $150, 8 -> 10 Gig HDs are like $75-90)

Congrats!

I just picked up a super clean Voyager with the color LCD panel-- cool
machine.  This particular machine has a few interesting quirks.  It's PROM
reports that it is a "pre-release XTerm prom, not for a production system".
It also has no hard disk.  Where the disk should be is a odd 2.5" by 3/8
inch
double-daughter card sort of thing-- I have no idea what that puppy is.
