I got the idea to convert a commodore 1541 drive into a SCSI drive enclosure from this site where a guy converts a 1541 into a mini-itx system.

http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/c1541/

my idea is to mount a scsi hard drive and cdrom drive inside using the existing power supply and notching out the back to mount a internal to external scsi adapter. I already have the HD/CD drives and have a 1541 on the way. I'm wondering what would be the best internal to external scsi converter

This goes 50pin internal to 25pin external

This one goes 50pin internal to 50pin external

Any advantages or disadvantages to either? I plan on using this with my Plus.

Please give me any thoughts or ideas you have for this project. I will update my progress regularly with pictures.

Thanks,

AL
