I've got a 4D(Desktop) model.  There's a guy that is in the process of 
cloning the hi-res board for it too.

At some point I'm going to refit mine with 3.5 drives using the HSFE board 
here:

It can be jumpered to turn off the AVR in order to use it as a simple 
adapter board.  You still have to use 720k media with them, but it beats 
rotting 5-1/4" media.
