Just discovered this company, Mountain Secure Systems, that produces a line of SATA-to-SCSI enclosures for legacy systems, the "Andes Series SCSI Interface to SATA Conversion". There is not any obvious way to purchase just a single unit, or even to see how much they are, so I doubt they'd be...

Feeling a bit gutted at the moment... After negotiating a very reasonable price with the seller, I was excited to receive a Kennect Rapport paired with the Kennect Drive 2.4 for use with my Mac Plus. The packaging took a big fall at some point in transit between Alaska and California, but the...

So I've acquired a Jaz USB Adapter (very cheaply, I should add!) which came with an Iomega 25-pin SCSI adapter. Since SCSI is SCSI and USB is USB, it should work as a generic SCSI to USB adapter, no? However as a test I plugged it into my modern machine connected to a Zip 100 SCSI (with disk...

Hello, I'm currently trying to resurrect a Quantum ProDrive 80S that came with a Mac II I bought recently. The drive itself is not actually important to me, and so this is more of a technical challenge than anything else. I've already dealt with the arm stiction by applying some electrical...

On a lark, I decided to try ordering one of GeeThree's PS/2 to ADB mouse adapters from their old website. Despite appearing more or less inactive, and the website itself being a bit janky, I was able to get an order through and, wouldn't you know it, my order arrived today! If I had to guess...
