| Duo hardrive option? |
Posted by: 30pin on 2008-02-03 17:20:36
The hardrive in my duo was making lots of noise. I swapped in my last extra 320mb 2.5 scsi drive. Newer(1994??) faster and much quieter. I have been looking at the CF/adapter idea. It would make the duo even lighter. Early duo's usually have from 80-240mb. I have a couple of 256mb CF cards handy. Just need the adapter. Has anyone done this with a duo?? I was thinking that it would be of use to any of the scsi laptops. If something went(Video-motherboard-ect.) the card and adapter would go into another vintage laptop. The card and adapter should last for years. No moving parts!!

Great idea - wish I could do the same - but the problem is finding a SCSI-->CF adapter, which is either non-existant or prohibitively expensive.
Saving grace for my PB540 was a PCMCIA card cage, which I can boot off a CF-->PCMCIA adapter.

would SCSI to IDE to CF be an option?

would SCSI to IDE to CF be an option? MacTV just pulled that off in the RetroChallenge... take a look at his blog for details.

That is a fabulous blog, MacTV.
Can you provide a link to your scripts on there? I have wanted to do something similar with Apple Telecom and a Geoport modem, but on a 660av. Having the messages available on a webserver is a stroke of genius - I suppose Filemaker 4 would be one way to go about it. What I'd like to be able to do is to "read" my voicemail on my G5 iMac.
