I imagine a mod to carry anything conventional besides dumb bombs would have
been cost prohibitive with the state of art electronics a 1950s airplane had.

Dunno... An airplane as big as the B-70, with LOTS of space for black boxes and
wiring, might have lent itself fairly well to modern electronics with their
smaller boxes. Look at all the warts and gizmos the B-52 has grown, externally
and internally, in the past 40+ years...

If the Buff can be adapted to JDAM, JSOW, and ALCM, why not the B-70? Filling
the big, open bomb bay with racks or launchers and/or fuel tanks like the B-52
or B-1 might not be that hard...

OTOH, the local flow and weapon separation problems at Mach 3 would be
"interesting" for smaller weapons...
