Hello, I'm new here. tried to register some years ago but something went wrong... btw this time all worked fast and properly  :)

Well, I need some help with my mac SE. This thing started to fail after 37 years of life

So i thought that buying another 50 pin probably dying and sometimes not cheap 50 pin wasn' t a good idea.

i really liked sata or CF interfaces but now they're really out of my budget... then i read some people adaptin 68 or 80 pin scsi server drives.

it seemed a good way to give a newer hd 2 gig partition to my Se.

So I ebayed for few money this

the adapter has for 4 id jumpers but none works. tried to boot with a floppy with hd setup patched and then with another with a light system 6 folder and lido 7.5: no scsi devices can be detected. 

now i'm not expert in scsi chains and terminations... is there a way to make work this thing ? :(

I thought lido or patched hd setup could recognize the 9 gig drive but it' not so..

thank U in advance for any info
