@JDW The adapter I use has of course the possibility to select master or slave configuration. As for the SSD, I just bought the cheapest one I could find on the spot on yahoo auctions, can’t remember, but for sure less than 2k yen including shipment. Concerning the mounting bracket, get ready...

Tested on two different SCSI2SD, same result.

So, some additional info. I just tested the extension cable with BlueSCSI v1.0 on a MacPortable and… it just works. So, I’d say the issue lays on the SCSI2SD device or, more likely, on the combination of SCSI2SD with the extension cable. I guess I will order a BlueSCSI v2.0, which seems to be...

Yes, apparently there’s something wrong either with the flat cable (continuity is OK, though) and / or with the interaction with the SCSI2SD board. I have understood the resistor is a pull up. There’s also a capacitor and an empty slot for a second one. So it’s not just a mere “electrical...

Here’s the link about the resistor tweak. Cable is the very same I got from Amazon. Honestly, not even that cheap and it seems to be executed in a reasonable way. I will try to reflow the soldering, but I don’t think it‘s the culprit. The device is very basic, there are not all that many...

Dear All, I have a few SCSI2D devices since some years now. I recently plugged one into an HP 712. Everything runs fine. However, if I try to use a micro-SD - SD extension cable (I would like to swap the micro SD card without opening the overly fragile top lid every time), the device just stops...

Same issue here, the three holes for the heat sink dictate the orientation of the bracket. Which unfortunately is not offering enough clearance for the adapter, since the position of the connectors is fixed. That‘s the reason why I had to offset the SSD.

I must be honest, I didn’t check if the plastic frame the adapter came with was fitting or not. But the selling point of the assembly is to fit a 2.5” SATA SSD drive in the boundary volume of a 3.5“ IDE spinner drive. Dimensions are standardized, so, yes, I assume everything would fit off the...

The unit came w/o HD, seller only included the heat sink, so I had to source the HD (SSD), the mounting bracket and the plastic rail, which serves the two fold purpose of guiding the unit and locking it to the chassis. I decided to reproduce the rail, the master sample is of course from another...

Here’s another one

Yes, I only took the active part of the adapter and ditched the plastic case, replacing it with the metal one of the second link. Probably totally unnecessary, but I didn’t like the idea of having the SSD shrouded in plastic frame in a machine cooled only by natural convection.

Here’s the solution I use: Mounting bracket Adapter The bottom bracket is a MFJ 3D printed custom design, perfect replacement for the standard one (which went missing). I had to mount the SSD with some offset in order to allow sufficient front clearance for the adapter.

Love those old drives, they are so musical. I suggest to tear down the mechanics and to clean it thoroughly. I remember one drive with a completely “glued” mechanism.

I would definitely keep it as is!

Foam, cheap stuff you buy at any department store. Manually punched a hole. It did work, but the outer diameter, even after fitting and stretching, was a tad too big. So, one per each roller wouldn’t fit. That’s why I used the rubber grommet for the second roller. And two rubber rollers didn’t...

Grüezi! I fixed a couple of black ribbons the way you see in the pics. Not easy to find the right fit and to keep things clean. Give it a try if you don‘t have any alternative option.

Couldn’t find a better thread, so I drop it here. I just took out of the closet one of my beloved G4 Cubes. Many years since last time I powered it up. Luckily, this one still works fine (in another one I have, a capacitor blew in the PWM board and that was it…). As I have an original box of...

Here’s another way: thermal sleeve sheath for ensuring proper grip of the rollers.

I would say it’s probably a misaligned floppy, can’t read valid data. In the resources directory, you can find a manual on how to fix this issue.
