SCSI harddrive for my LC III?

[macgeek417]

My LC III's harddrive is waaay too small, so could anyone point me to an ebay auction for a compatible scsi hard drive? i can't seem to get any results.

Search for "SCSI hard drive"

Anything with a 50 pin connector will work.

so would this one be good?

It has a 50 pin connector, so I don't see why not.

 

[macgeek417]

I meant "is this a *reliable* drive, or unreliable like the prodrives?"

It looks like a full-height drive. I believe your LC will accept only half-height drives. Also, it's a micropolis, which means it's (a) old, ( B) probably very noisy, and © probably very unreliable.

OK, could someone point me to a SCSI zip drive then? i still have a zip100 disk or two...

Hard drives:

IBM SCSI HD

Seagate Hawk 2 GB

x2 Seagate Hawk 2.1 GB

or you can buy a cheaper large 68 pin HD (which are much easier to find cheap than native 50-pin hard drives) (example) and use a converter (example) with it.

For Zip drives, this one is nice.

If you can though, try to find a Zip 100 Plus, as they are compatible with both PC parallel ports and Mac SCSI ports.

um... zoom waaay in on the pic, its a paralell drive

 

[macgeek417]

I think i'll probebly get that 68pin and adaptor.

That lot of two Hawks is a good deal.

Oh right. I see that now. Sorry about that.

Here's one of the aforementioned Zip Plus drives with 22 Zip disks. Really good price too.

Another cheap Zip Plus with 17 Zip disks.

100 Zip disks

 

[macgeek417]

I'll try to get the one w/ 22 disks. the cool thing bout Zip disks is i have a usb drive already.

 

[macgeek417]

...and why would you waant 100 disks? is 22+the 1 i have not enough?!

That lot of two Hawks is a good deal.

Yesterday I've got Hawk for the bottle of beer it was better deal...

The power supply in the LC III might be too tiny to support such a high-capacity drive.

And that threw me off when you deleted your post.

I've been running a 9.1 GB 50-pin SCSI Seagate in my LC 475 for quite a while now, and it's been fine.

Would this one work w/ a 68-50 adaptor?

#1 won't work, because I think you can't run an Ultra-320 drive on the LC's PSU. (power constraints, etc.)

#2 is too big to fit.
