| External ZuluSCSI and SCSI2D collides with chassi | |
| Posted by: Jockelill on 2022-11-25 22:41:42 Don’t know if anyone else has had the same problem, but my external Zuluscsi (same case as external SCSI2D) does not fit all computers. In my case there was a collision on the IIci. Since I’m fairly handy with CAD these days and also have several printers, I decided to draw and print a new lid so it can be used also on the IIci (and maybe some other computers with the same problem). Happy to share the stl if someone is interested.     | |
| Posted by: joshc on 2022-11-25 23:37:54 Remove the bottom part of the case and it will then fit. That will leave some pins exposed so just be careful with it. Thats how I’ve been using my external SCSI2SD for a while now. Your modified solution is a good idea 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Jockelill on 2022-11-25 23:59:24 Yeah, that was my initial idea, just get rid of the case, without it fits, but the engineer inside me needed a more safe solution ☺️ | |
| Posted by: Phipli on 2022-11-26 02:17:25 I think you can just use one of these : 
DB25 Male to DB25 Female Mini Adapter 25 Pin Gender Changer Printer RS-232 Port | eBayThis adapter will extend/ connect a DB25 cable to a DB25 cable and vice versa this mini adapter can be used to splice/add-on together two existing cables. Used to connect printers or printer port LPT.

No, I don't know why they exist either 🤣 | |
Posted by: jeremywork on 2022-11-26 02:25:27I think you can just use one of these :To make your cables fit together 😉 I've used a *Parallel Edit: I remembered the SCSI version is F-F, long time ago now. This wasn’t recommended really and probably has caveats, but it was free ewaste at the time | |
| Posted by: MindWalker on 2022-11-26 04:34:39 That's neat! I did a similar tweak for the BlueSCSI's external version as it wouldn't fit into my IIcx's chassis. (This is now available at the github as a remix-version of the original case). I do like the look of how the Mac ports are recessed but sometimes it gets tricky even with just thicker connectors, not to mention these plug-in devices. | |
Posted by: superjer2000 on 2022-11-26 10:18:35I think you can just use one of these :This is what I did. 1 or 2x straight through gender changes attached to my older 25pin SCSI2SD did the trick. | |
