So I am trying to recover files off an old, non functioning Performa 6116. The computer fails to power up. It could be a battery on the motherboard, could be a power supply, or who knows what. On Most old computers that have an IDE, EIDE, ATA or SATA drive I'd just pull out the hard drive, connect it to another computer via an external case, or adapter. Since the 6116 has a SCSI drive and my current computers use SATA I'm struggling with how to do this for a few reasons. 1) Is there an inexpensive SCSI enclosure that has a USB port that I can use? 2) If not an enclosure, Is there an adapter from SCSI to SATA? 3) Is there a SCSI card for PC that will read an old mac formatted drive that will allow me to pull off the old files? 4) What variety or flavor of SCSI is the drive in a 6116?
While the files have a good amount of sentimental value I'm not looking to invest a ton of money into figuring it out. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
