Hi Guys,
Update on this small project. I managed to assemble the adapter cable without any welding, just plain crimping. Result is quite neat and fits nicely (overall length: approx 30 cm, connector to connector).
The board I have (v5.0a) must be powered, so I couldn’t do without the (oversized) molex connector.
Mounting brackets are also minimal, no need to go for “exotic” 3D printed solutions: it’s just two “L” shaped Aluminium profiles, which - by chance - are “naturally” clamping the board in a very effective way, as there’s a groove that is just perfect for the purpose. So, no screws, no nothing.
I’m using an “oversized” 16 Gb card (smaller ones are getting hard to find), virtually partitioned in 4 units of 2 Gb each (SCSI address 0 to 3).
I have formatted the “drives” using Apple utilities (patched).
System is now working very fine (battery reconditioned, too), but I have noticed that after putting the Mac at sleep, it kind of struggles to wake up and sometimes I need to reset the machine as it hangs forever...
Another point: if I connect a SCSI CD ROM (ID: 4), sometimes (not always) at start up partitions 1 to 3 are not automatically mounted.
Any clue on how to tune this setup?
