Apparently, Ampex used the term "Megastore" for a bunch of different
things.  Googling around, I found this information (in German):

c0385s102.html

Apparently, the PC Megastore was a 20 MB hard drive packaged with a backup
streamer.  I suspect that the 50-pin header might be SASI, but that's just
a guess.

Cheers,
Chuck
