Hi, Dean,
That's an HDI-30 port, and you can get adapters for it which are
SCSI only (with 29 pins), but if you have any later powerbooks, the
switchable kind which allow you to connect via SCSI disk mode with a
desktop can be really useful. If you go to www.newerram.com, you can
download a database for all sorts of Macs called GURU. This would give you
lots of information on the machines you have.
