There is a gung-ho member of VCF that is trying to install a Spock on a
50z and use an ZuluSCSI.

IBM SCSI w/cache in PS/2 Model 50 troubles

I >THINK< removing the integrated HD and running just SPOCK would do. Of
course, the bootable image should be at ID6.

BUT... I have >ZEE-RO< knowledge of ANY functioning, file-based SCSI
emulator working in a PS/2, either as a boot device -OR- as a ROM-less
device.

Creating new image files

Empty image files can be created using operating system tools:

Windows: fsutil file createnew HD1.img 1073741824 (1 GB)
Linux: truncate -s 1G HD1.img
Mac OS X: mkfile -n 1g HD1.img

If you need to use image files larger than 4GB, you must use an
exFAT-formatted SD card, as the FAT32 filesystem does not support files
larger than 4,294,967,295 bytes (4GB-1 byte).

ZuluSCSI firmware can also create image files itself. To do this, create
a text file with filename such as Create 1024M HD40.txt. The special
filename must start with "Create" and be followed by file size and the
name of resulting image file. The file will be created next time the SD
card is inserted. The status LED will flash rapidly while image file
generation is in progress.

Almost any third party scsi adapter will work. it will need a power connector on it or you will need to modify the power supply cables to allow for one..
future domain, adaptec, were the upgrades back then... scsi , bus logic.... arco for IDE procom pira,,, as well..

or if you could afford it,,,, Kingston on board hard card with memory...
