The X68000 Ace and Ace HD were the successor of the X68000 and had the same characteristics. They had a new motherboard and a new version of the operating system (1.01).

Notice that the earlier models of the X68000 series didn't use SCSI hard disk interface, but a Sharp interface derived from the SASI protocol (Shugart Associates Systems Interface) launched by Shugart associates in 1980.
