Adding a second hard drive to an SE 30 — #6

Adding a second hard drive to an SE 30 — #5

Apparently no one has seen what I have crammed into an SE/30, which illustrates very clearly what is "possible": Think "hand made bracket." The possibilities truly are endl…

Interesting! Somebody was still working on OS 9 ROM after OS 9 was pronounced dead. You've found some later ones than I did.

Adding a second hard drive to an SE 30 — #4
