Can an SCSI card reader be put in the MC80 and connected to the internal SCSI connector in place of the VS4S-1?

Everything else from Roland that doesn't fit elsewhere

Can an SCSI card reader be put in the MC80 and connected to the internal SCSI connector in place of the VS4S-1?

I am curious. The MC80 can be fitted with a VS4S-1 card for SCSI. This means there is an internal SCSI connector on the board. The internal SCSI is for saving and loading which is all the MC80 can do from a drive anyway. Doesn't this mean that modern SCSI cards can be fitted internally and connected to the internal SCSI bus? I'm not sure what kind of cable would connect to it, but it looks like something like this could work, bypassing the need for a compatible IDE card reader which is almost impossible to find these days.
