PowerBook 2.5" SCSI HDD in Mac Portable?

[AlpineRaven]

Afternoon all,

Has anyone connected up an PowerBook hard drive in Macintosh Portable via 36 pin SCSI?

I tried searching on the net but cannot pinpoint it. I do remember I used to have an adapter from 52pin 2.5" PowerBook to 50 pin SCSI once years ago - no longer have this adapter as I sold it thinking I'd never use it again.

Cheers

I am hoping to avoid getting this 36 to 50pin adapter that is available. I have so many 2.5" SCSI HDDs here in this box. Surely there is power being availiable via 36 pin SCSI to power up the 2.5" SCSI?

Cheers

Think you would be better off using a 40MB drive from something like the LC range.  Have heard that they work, just draw a little more power, and you would need the adapter.
