Expansion bay hard drive for Wallstreet
Posted by: Der Grunher on 2021-08-20 01:49:56
Hello,

I want to have a hard drive in expansion bay of the Powerbook Wallstreet.

There are several devices for this project:

MCE Xcaret Pro Do-It-Yourself Expansion Bay Hard Drive Kit
MCE 80GB Xcaret Pro Expansion Bay Hard Drive
VST Expansion Bay Hard Drive
...

But...

The devices seems to be very rare in these days?🙁

Does anyone know a seller/shop for one of these (except ebay)?

Never seen one when I was collecting Wallstreets and that was a long time ago so they would be more uncommon now.

just as a side note: technically as far as I know its just a straight pinout so its an easy diy sort of project, would have to measure the optical drive for the connector blueprint itself (and a battery module for non-wide module footprint too) then its an easy creation job from there more or less
