I have a Mac Portable that I used back in the old days, and I have
lots of files on it. However, it does not work anymore, because the
battery in it is dead and it won't run off a power supply. I want to
put the HD in another Mac to get the files off it, but the Conner HD
in the portable is a different format (some SCSI variant) - how to
convert it to work with a regular, desktop SCSI?
1. you can boot the portable off a powerbook 180 adapter. these are
45Watt. remove the battery and boot.
2.The hardrive is mechanical equivalent to the 40Mb drives used in
classics. swap the pcb on those drives to get to your data. after
that. swap back and your classic is working again.
Are you sure? My Classic II has an IBM drive, and the Classic I has a
Quantum drive I think.
I do have a PB 180 adapter, I'll give it a go. Thanks!
Some classics have a connor cp4045 drive. a black rounded case. i've
swapped a few of my portable drives with spares from classics due to
the sticky mess used to seal the cover of the plates dripping on the
plates and ruining the disk. At least 2 of my 4 Portables had that
problem. I recall that the disk labels are green or red, but the
mechanical parts are identical.
the quantum 40Mb/80Mb were used on later SE's (fdhd) and SE/30. Like
the IIci and CX at the time. The early SE's used a Miniscribe 20Mb (i
can recognize the sound from about 100 meters...)
