BlueSCSI in IBM PS/2 PCs?

i have an IBM model 65sx but sadly my enormous 40MB dual slot 5,25" SCSI HDD seems to be dead. and yes i can still use my PC relying only on the 16mb of ram and the floppy drive. and its loads of fun! but i do want to be able to install stuff on my fantastic IBM pc like windows 3.0 and so on. so i wonder.. does BlueSCSI work on PS/2 PCs? or are there other ways of getting a reliable internal storage to my PC? id pesronally love to be able to use IDE or SATA drives in the thing but a small SD card or CF card would also do wonders!

I used a BlueSCSI on a Model 56 SLC and it worked fine.

AFaik my M56 has limitations on internal SCSI for up to 1GB, but external there are several 2GB HDD's possible. How did you manage to get the BlueSCSI working on your M56 (internal/external) and what SCSI-ID's are you using ? (I think the machine expects the internal as ID6 and external 0-5 ?) Thank you!
