convert internal to external drive

[t...@delfin.com]

Hello,

I have an internal 40 Meg SCSI hard drive that I'm not using.
It came with my NeXT cube but I took it out and put a bigger one in
its place. What I want to do is to turn it into an external disk drive
that can be used with an old Mac+.

I figure I just have to get a power supply, cables, and a case. I
would appreciate any advice that anyone could give me -- from where to
get material to circuit diagrams -- my electrical engineering skills
are rusty.

Thanks,
Tom Fruchterman

Hello,

A couple of days ago, I posted asking about how one converts an
internal drive to an external drive. It turns out that it is a trivial task and
I have already finished. It took about $100 and an afternoon's work. I bought
my case at Weird Stuff in Sunnyval, right next to Fry's. You can get some good
prices there but you have to be careful.
Thanks for all replies.

Tom,
If I had read your message earlier, I would have recommended you drive 1/2
mile further to:
Quadmation, Inc
PHD Systems
1120 Stewart Court, Suite L
Sunnyvale
(408) 733-5557

It's a small all-Mac company with know-how!
Shenan set me up with an expernal case for approx. $20 more than your
expenditure!
50 pin for daisy-chaining; switchable scsi #; dual electrical outlets;
over-sized power supply; and software to boot (pun!)

Please, if you need anything Mac-hardware related, call Shenan at
PHD Systems and tell 'em you heard it from me.

I heard that in Canada Apple has decided not to offer the
Powerbook 100 without an external floppy drive. That is we
only get the model with the floppy drive bundled. Since none
of the dealers around here have any Powerbooks yet they aren't
sure....so does anyone know for sure?
Thanks.
