If you're looking for disk power cables for the II/IIx/IIcx (Molex to Molex) in the UK

I went looking for a male to male molex for my IIcx and was surprised to find that they're quite hard to find, here in the UK at least. What I did find though was the following :


Not too expensive delivered, nice quality, about the right length (so it tucks under the SCSI cable in the IIcx) and the pass through connector will be handy if I want to power anything else in the case. I haven't tried it in a big box mac but I think they're the same cable?

Sorry I don't have a better photo but the computer is running a looping hardware test - it's thrown a couple of bus errors and I'm trying to see if it is the RAM.

I put the pass through end at the top so that nothing could fall into it.

I put this post under Mac IIs because I thought it was more of a solution for a small number of machines rather than an eBay "find".
