Just to re-iterate that statement: Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware (second edition) REALLY ROCKS!!! [Wood pulp based storage media ROCK! [] ]'>
] ]'>Got the pinouts, no sweat: it's basically a borked around version of the original NON-STANDARD Apple dilution of the SCSI Spec. from 50 pins down to 25 pins . . . the morons!
Twenty-Two or so pins are the same (mixed about a bit) and the rest of the pins on the Portable's connector are:
four +5v
four +12v
four Ground
It's just Power for the HDD! :
So all that needs to be done is to connect a 34 pin DIP Header (male pins for that female cable) to a standard female HDD Power Plug (a good donor candidate would be an extension or adapter cable) and a 50 pin DIP Header. Make all the proper wiring hookups according to the pinouts in GttMFH and the drive will hook up to any internal SCSI Chain on any other Mac!
At the standard Mac boot drive SCSI ID, I would think. [
