I bought a new PowerBook. Guess what I chose: A 520c. Yes, that's right. I didn't learn a thing. My 520 died after only 9 months of use, and I bought another 500. I don't actually have the PowerBook yet but it should be here by Saturday. Now, here's my question: Is there any way I can hook my old HD up at the same time as the new one? I want to get all of my data off of it. Thanks!
You could put the old drive into a SCSI enclosure and use it as an external drive, tho I believe you'll need an adapter to get the pins to match the enclosure's cabling.
At Kfest this year (Yes, this Apple II convention still is going strong. :) ), a friend of mine used a techie tool to take my old drive from my 5300 and allow me to hook it up to my new aluminum PowerBook so I could copy all the files into a subdirectory for later sorting. This used a USB connection, but there might be something similar for SCSI use too, I suppose--conjecture on my part of course.
