Order up some parts
and get a few together.
- program my Sceeed thing.

These are pretty rad. I hope mmcmaster is successful with the 2.5" version too.

yeah man!
I like how simplistic it is!
Here is a picture showing the difference between
2 different versions,
the one on the right is a SCSI TO IDE/CF
but it also has a SD connection as well… the one on the right uses a Z80 CPU and a ton of other stuff as well to get the job done.

These old slow SCSI bus macs, the SD version is perfect, I think.
the 2.5" version is going to have a stronger demand IMHO. The 3.5, you can use the SCA drives, and stuff in. powerbooks you cant. at least not easily.

yeah i still have a few 10k 73gig 2.5" SCA hard drives… 🙂
I still think they are a fantastic modern hard drive in vintage mac solution.

Yea, i would use those for the 3.5" stuffs. but for 2.5" we need that revised PCB, as it would be the ONLY solution outside of the aztech monster.

yeah i think its time to SLAY the monster.

Monster was slain when this project went public 🙂
My project totally failed. At least someone was able to complete one

don't you just need more time?

That, but I hit a huge brick wall, considering the code was actually GPLed/someone elses so I didnt understand its operation well enough to figure out how to fix it. Then i just gave up. It turned out to be one of those projects that I invested alot of time and money on, with a bad outcome. The code was actually ONLY SCSI-3 compliant, and barely. So SCSI-1 and 2 never even saw it or attempted to see it. my SCSI-3 PCI card saw the drive just fine but never worked right.

I stayed the #@<|< outtta' that thread so's I wouldn't jinx it. :-/
Has anyone put the pads for the Luggable's idiotic PC-FDD Connector and a straight thru IDC cable hookup on one of these board layouts? :?:
