2.5 Hard drive adapter?

2002-04-07 Thread l k m
I have a 2.5 inch hard drive pulled from a PowerBook (3400) that I'd love to install into an external hard drive case (set up for the bigger Mac hard drives, 50 pin) and use on my desktop Mac. Is there an adapter that'll alow me to plug in this tiny little guy? Thanks, Laura -- Vintage Macs

Okay, while we're all out happily hunting accelerator cards. I take it that the best way to add a modem to a IIci is to get an external serial port type. Am I right or am I missing something? I do know that externals are generally more stable, but have used internals in the PCs I've owned.

I have a Daystar PowerCache 030 upgrade in my SE/30 that plugs into the CPU socket complete with cache and FPU. Will it work in a IIci, if so is it worth pulling out of my SE/30 (which hardly gets used) and whacking it in my soon-to-be-had IIci? I kinda thought seeing as they were both 1989
