Re: compact with Laptop HDD?

[John F. Scipione]

Even if it is possible to get the drive to work, it would take a lot of 
effort, and probably would be a hack in the end.  I don't think that 
the SE/30 can recognize more that a 2GB partition anyway, so you would 
have to make 4 partitions which is hardly useful.  Plus, SCSI to IDE is 
a hack, then regular IDE to compact IDE is a pain.  I suggest trying to 
find a better use for the drive.  Who needs 8GBs on an SE/30 anyway?

Hi all,
I just bought a 8 GB HDD for my lombard, but its too thick to fit 
inside my laptop, so since I have a BUNCH of compacts, I figured maybe 
I can stick it inside my SE/30, remove its HDD and put another floppy 
in it, so it has two floppies and a laptop 8GB HDD in it.

First question, what OS do I need to run for it to recognize the 8 GB 
HDD in one partition?

Secondly, its an IDE laptop drive, does anyone know where I can get 
the thingamajig I need to make this drive work on the SCSI bus in the 
SE/30?

I have a 512, 128k/plus, SE, SE HDFD, SE/30, Mystic G4 tower, and a 
8500/G3 400, 2 IIFX's, IICI, LC, 2 7100/66, WGS 7250/120, 2 lombard 
PBG3, and a broken Pismo...
