Out of curiosity is this an A500 with an external drive, or an A1000 (or 2000) with the internal drive?
On the A1000 and the 2000's they offered a whole series of 3rd party add on cards that had the additional drive literally screwed to the card. See the image below.
Let me know what you have, I have numerous 50 pin drives that might work for you.

Hi David, yes it's in an external case hooked up to my Amiga 2000 through my Supra SCSI card. I took it out of the case and yes it has 50 pins, it's been a while since I've seen it... about 20 years...
I remember having all kinds of problems installing it back then... the software didn't autoconfigure like the new computers nowadays... I had to specify the tracks/sectors/blocks, etc when I low level formatted it... also remember not getting it to work internally because of termination issues or something...
It's been a while, but I'd really like to start messing around with the old thing again and collect some of my old groups demos for memories... get it hooked up to the ineternet, etc...
