| SE/30 and Internal CD Drives |
Posted by: Overlord on 2020-02-07 09:43:34
Has anyone tried plugging an internal AppleCD like the 300i or 600i into the SE/30 internal scsi port? I'm curious if it is possible to wire up a 600i internally and use an external SCSI2SD.
Side note: is it possible to use an internal scsi cable with two connectors even tho the SE/30 only shipped with a single port connector?

While I am not sure why you’d do this, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. There’s nothing different between internal and external drives. The ports all run off the same bus.

Yes that's true but it'll be hard to fit inside...

Well, I did wonder if the front case of a Twiggy mac could be used for slot loading DVD...

Unless you did the mini seasonic PSU swap, power might be an issue as well. My Antec is ~100W. Don't know how much draw a CD-ROM of the era would pull.

Thanks folks. I think I’m going to try it with the goal of integrating it into my SE/30. I think there’s enough space inside without the floppy drive, hdd, and their cages.
Im going to try this with the ATX2AT psu project once it ships.
Is there a slot loading drive that is known to be fully compatible with the machine?

SCSI (50 pin) slot loading drive... hard to find to my mind!
