Author here. Admittedly I didn't explore this avenue very deeply. I was more focused on accomplishing this with parts I had on hand.

A quick search yielded this result, which does confirm it's absolutely possible to adapt the drive: https://vintagemacmuseum.com/reading-powerbook-2-5-scsi-hard...

Hell, I wrote a FUSE implementation of HFS a while back. HFS (and to a lesser extent HFS+) is quite well documented. Current versions of MacOS can still do HFS+ (but not HFS) natively.
