Laptop Liberator PowerBridge?

[sulement]

I've been handed this device, made in 1992 by Software Architects, Inc. to see if I can find it's real use and any information about it:

FCCID: KAJSATELLH0000001. It is a gray, ribbed block with a female Centronics connector at both ends and a thin gray cable fixed at one side ending in a DC plug at the other. At the end where the DC plug is, there is a female DC Jack in the block. Anybody?

That's a special SCSI bridge device used with PowerBooks that don't support SCSI Disk Mode. I think you have a typo in the FCC ID. It should read KAJSAIELLH0000001

Excerpt from MacWorld, June 1994 issue: "The PowerBook 140, 145, 145B, and

170 lack the necessary ROM code for

SCSI disk mode. However, the S249 Lap-

top Liberator from Software Architects

(206/487-0122) supplies a combination

hardware SCSI adapter and software that

supports SCSI disk mode on those mod-

els. Laptop Liberator can also create and

format a DOS partition on a PowerBook

hard disk so any PowerBook can connect

as a SCSI drive to a DOS or Windows

machine with a SCSI interface..."

Thank you! Yes, I had to try to read that FCC ID string in low light so the mistake was easily made for old eyes. Any chance the software is anywhere to be found?
