Picking up tomorrow: SE/30 with Radius Pivot monitor!

Posted by: sabbacc108 on 2016-09-13 00:47:48 I recently picked up a Macintosh Plus, which came with a portable SCSI hard drive that uses a DIN-5 socket for power (like your DynaFile) that connects to the 19-pin D-sub connector on the back of the Mac. Maybe the DynaFile used a similar cable?

Posted by: Anonymous Freak on 2016-09-13 10:56:41 I got in touch with someone who has a web page about the DaynaFile - he finally got back from vacation and sent me the specs - it needs both 5V and 12V, but apparently it uses a power brick that was relatively common with electronics of the late '80s, so I should be able to find one reasonably priced.

Posted by: sabbacc108 on 2016-09-13 12:51:31 Okay! I just spied what appeared to be a DIN to D-sub cable in the picture you took of all the random bits you got with the SE/30, and thought that might be what it was for (since the floppy port on compact Macs outputs both 5V and 12V).
