SCSI Drive for SE/30? [message #336638] Thu, 02 February 2017 09:05 Go to next message

Can anyone tell me where I could get a SCSI drive for an SE/30?

I've just taken two SE/30s off a colleague before he put them in the
trash(!), and they've taken me back quite a few years. Last time I used one
of those was in about 1990, in one of my first jobs out of college (and
that SE/30 was the first time I encountered a computer virus, too, but
that's another story). And so (ignoring eye-rolling from other family
members) they join all the modern gear, and also the IIx, SparcStation and
PDP11.

One of them boots up and runs fine, but the hard drive has failed on the
other one and it'll only boot from floppies. The install disks are there in
among the 100+ floppies that came with the machine, so it would be nice to
restore it to full working order if I can get a suitable disk.

(I'm thinking of making one earn its keep by putting it in the kitchen, and
transferring a lot of recipes to Hypercard)

What is the performance of the SCSI2SD? Has anybody done any testing?

Awesome! I have a couple of them, too. Haven’t touched them for years in my museum. I wonder if Other World Computing would have a drive?

You know there is a program out there you can use to turn on and off your lights, too. I used to use it when I had fish and we were on vacation and I wanted a light on for a while in my room. LOL

Good luck with the drive! One of these days I’m going to have to boot up all my computers, if they will. Wish I had time in my retired life to play with them.

I had them plugged in for a long time. Then I left it for a bit. Will check again.

Hello friend. I would recommend eBay, I have my eye on a 500mb SCSI drive on there for about $39. Good luck!
