Mac II drive sled photo?
Posted by: reallyrandy on 2021-09-15 07:59:48
I have a Mac II with no hard drive in it. I want to restore it as close to original as possible. Does anyone have a photo of the original drive mounting method in a Mac II?

I also have a Mac II but the drive carrier/sled are different to yours - mine is the same as the ones in the IIx and IIfx designed for an ordinary 3.5" Quantum.

Yours appears to be an earlier version made for a larger drive.

I have a II with a giant 5.25" drive in it, and while it's been some time since I've looked at it, I think it's installed on a bracket similar to yours.

Sure looks like it. I think my IIfx had a full sized 80MB Apple HD that took up the whole space behind the dual floppy drives.

I've been looking for one of those sleds... I have a couple of II's and also a 1/2 height 5 1/4" SCSI drive I'd like to put in one... but... no sled. 😞 Is there a (Apple) part number stamped on it? Perhaps on the bottom side?
