OK Guys, here it is: there is an existing, cheap device may connect IEC to IEE488, without opening your Plus/4.
It is a modern one, theoretically supports JiffyDOS too, but I am not aware of SDF1001 JiffyDOS EPROM
The drawings are in ASCII, so have fun

I am not a real expert doing such things, but I found a guy built them in Hungary few years ago.
I just sent a mail to him if any piece left there, or if he may willing to do one (some).
There is an existing other, old devide, called INTERPOD, that does the same, but very rare and expensive.
As it does not support JiffyDOS (even theoretically) it will reach only normal 1541 speed.
But you may have 3700 free blocks on one Disc.
I checked Alibaba: you can get for 15-20USD an IEE488 cable with free shipping.
We are very close to get SFD1001 work on Plussy, even for lamer like me, who do not open the case
