I know some (several?) people on this forum have SCSI2SDs in their Macintosh Portables. I have a SCSI2SD, but have never gone ahead and tried to throw it in the Portable. Bear with my lack of technical skill, but I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to get this done.
Specifically, I had 3 questions about this process:
(1) I believe I saw a thread awhile back about needing a 34 pin to 50 pin SCSI cable in order to plug the SCSI2SD to the Portable -- Does anyone have any of these made that they would be willing to sell?
(2) Is the SCSI2SD just plug and play? Do you have to do anything special to format the SD card before putting the OS/Files on it?
(3) Related to 2 -- What is the best way to get Mac OS 6 or 7 onto an SD? I don't have hard copies of either and the only computers I have that can access the internet are relatively recent OS X machines (though I do have a Wallstreet Powerbook) with both a floppy and CD drive that can be a sort of bridge, if need be.
Thanks for the hand holding/input!
