Mac II Hard drive

Hey all, Looking into purchasing a Mac II (the original). There is no hard drive installed... i know it is SCSI, but is there anything specific to know, like physical size or termination, etc? Never owned a II anything before. Also, what do you think is a fair price? Thanks, Kyle- --

Re: Mac II Hard drive

Hi Kyle, I don't know too much about termination for an internal SCSI HD, but I can say that the II case will accept any 3.5 or a half-height 5.25 drive. You'd want a 50-pin SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 (I know the SCSI-1 will work, not sure about SCSI-2) connector. I do believe that SCSI-2 also has a 50-pin

Re: Mac II Hard drive

You can put either a 3.5 or a 5.25 hard drive in a Mac II. I've seen both configurations in action. Brackets are available for either. Also make sure you have an additional floppy on hand in case the one you get has only one drive installed. Although this isn't necessary it's nice for making

Re: Mac II Hard drive

Hi Scott, Thanks for your reply. Would the bracket from an LC III work? I have a spare. I would imagine so... I do not have an extra floppy drive, actually. The one I will be getting only has one drive. However, most of my disks are 1.4 MB, so an 800k drive won't be too much help ;-)

Hi Shaun, I have a 160 meg drive from an LC 475 that I could probably spare, at least long enough for the project I am using this thing for. $40 - $50 shipped is in the range I am paying. It seems like a cool lil' machine. By the way, I have never seen one on eBay to check prices against.

Anyone needing Mac II series parts or systems please contact me I've inherited a quantity (mostly IIci's) and am more than happy to work something out with you, especially if you have something (Apple II's???) to trade. Same goes for LCs and LC parts. -Ben Franske Kyle Koerner wrote: Hi
