Hi All,
I just purchased my first MAC: a Performa 630!

However, it does NOT have a CD-Rom built in. I have an extra internal SCSI CD-Rom from an old PC but how do I connect it to the Performa 630?

FYI, at the back of the CD-Rom bay appears some kind of special SCSI and power and audio connector harness.

Do I need a special cable to hook my CD-Rom up? Where can I get these?

Regards......ed

I've only dealt with the 630 style case once. I'd be willing to be that you'd need the "Blade" adapter. It has normal power, SCSI, and audio connections that snap into the drive, and then you get this blade-like connector that you just slide into the harness.
