Yes, i am.
You can drive an internal disk in a MegaSTE but this requires an internal hostadapter. Any MegaSTE that was shipped with a harddisk has such an adapter, but many MegaSTEs have been shipped without a harddisk and they lack the hostadapter as well as the mounting frame.
If you open the "butter-box" (just one screw) and open the lid, follow the SCSI cable from the drive to the hostadapter and you'll see that it ends at a little doughterboard that sits on a internal ACSI-port.
Disconnect it and your MegaSTE has no more SCSI support at all.
Alternatively, run SCSI-tools or HDDrUtil to check what your MegaSTE sees and you'll find out that your SCSI-disk is identified as ACSI.
I know (now refering to Shiuming's contrib) that you can actually drive large harddisks with the original adapter and i also know that Michael Ruge offered some kind of a patch kit in 1996 to drive up to half a GB with the original adapter, but in general, this adapter does not support many drives larger than 120 MB.
