Can someone post a pic of a Mac II drive sled?

[reallyrandy]

I just picked up a sweet Mac II from pathw that needs a hard drive sled. I could fashion one from sheet metal or just print one but I'm trying to restore everything to original. I just wanna know what the original looked like. Probably the same sled as the IIx and the IIfx.

Thanks

Have you checked the three service source diagram part numbers against each other? I can't imagine them changing that mounting sled for IIx or IIfx.

I did, I just wanted a picture so if I ran across one on ebay. It's the same sled for all the double wide Mac II series.

This would be the sled:

Cheap enough!

reallyrandy already has the hard drive carrier (which is part 805-0952, and looks to be different from 922-0066). What is needed is whatever came with the 5.25 inch original drive ... Looking at http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/legacy/macintosh_ii.iix.iifx.pdf,

which is where the exploded view came from, there are drawings earlier in the document that give some indication about what this was like or supposed to do (but not very informative).

That's a boo-boo, Byrd. NOT the right part at all.

Didn't the drive bolt directly to the 805-0952 carrier?

Just took some comparison pics, coming up shortly.

I can send you a bracket.

oldappleguy, reallyrandy already has this bracket. See the photos in

That's funny, it's easy to imagine it looked like part of the chassis to him. I wonder what percentage of the membership has ever seen a dimunitive, half height "Fixed Disk" IRL, much less the real, full height deal?

edit: and now to find a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter to go from there to a 2.5" Savvio UltraSCSI Server drive! []

I have one!  It is in my PC/AT!

I've got one that's dead as a doornail. It was harvested from a very tall ZFP case under a friend's Mac Plus server. Drive's gutted for use as a case at some point and the 8 platter stack is in the artfully arranged pile of the DigiJunk in the bottom of the 17"BlueberryStudioQuarium™ project. My first HDD was a half height MFM I swapped into the Tandy 1000SX.

It was my misunderstanding originally. I assumed that something else was needed, similar to the sleds that I have used for 3.5in drives with later Macs, and told reallyrandy that I was missing this piece. Note that Randy asked about a drive sled. This quickly (d)evolved into a discussion of hard drive carriers ... So - joethezombie was correct - hard drive just screwed to the carriage directly?

Thanks Old Apple Guy, That's not the one I need but I do appreciate the offer!
