Mac II ZuluSCSI (& SCSI2SD) Bracket
Posted by: happymacunhappymac on 2022-10-25 19:01:10
I decided that I want to be able to swap SD cards without cracking my Mac II open, mostly because the front retaining hoops Mac II lid is fairly fragile.

First try, I figured I'd make a bracket that fits in the floppy cage. That was a mistake because there is no good cable exit. I didn't realize this until first prototype was printed. I included a little outrigger that positions activity LED right behind the eject hole. I'm not confident that will work out well. Things didn't align perfectly, but I was able to determine the necessary corrections.

Second try isn't printed yet. I decided to discard the floppy cage and make a bracket that mounts the way the floppy cage mounts. I'll see how it turns out tomorrow.

I've revised the design a bit, so I no longer need the prototype bracket. I've listed it on ebay for $9.99 with free postage in case anyone wants it. I'll get about $3 after Ebay's ridiculous fees and postage. I hate to throw it away, though.
