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

Here is a picture of the adapters necessary for an internal SCSI CD-ROM:

You will also need to attach a 5.25" bay sled to the bottom of the drive as seen here:

If you get an external SCSI enclosure to put the drive into, you will only need a common SCSI cable and terminator as seen here:

All the other connections (SCSI, Power, Audio) will be provided by the bay. You could probably just buy a whole external SCSI CD-ROM already put together for the same price, though. I can't imagine they're too expensive.
