Help me find (buy?) a SCSI adapter -Color Classic external

Posted by: mraroid on 2016-05-09 03:41:22 Hi...   I need to hook up a SCSI hard drive to the external SCSI connector on my Color Classic.   I need to boot to this drive and then run rez edit and edit some files on the hard drive inside my Color Classic.   I have looked at adapters and connectors on ebay and can't make any sense of them.  Can someone point me to the correct adapter/cable?   Do you have one to sell?  Let me know.   I do own an adapter that will take a modern SCSI drive and convert it to the correct pin out for the connector in the Color Classic.   I also have an external hard drive power supply.  It plugs into an electrical outlet in the wall,  The other end is a plug just like the power connector on the hard drive in my Color Classic.  It looks like this one on ebay:   http://www.amazon.com/Coolerguys-100-240v-Molex-Power-Adapter/dp/B000MGG6SC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462790399&sr=8-3&keywords=hard+drive+power+supply   Any help welcomed.   Thanks   jack
