Happy Holidays All.
Recently I cleared the deck of some house projects and have been able to dust of my vintage Mac bits, 2 of which include these beauties:
I had the Bit Micro but had never been able to get running on my IIsi or SE/30. I found a thread from member max1zzz about some 68 to 50 pin SCSI adaptors that in August of 2014 I purchased but had not been able to get running until today. With Lido from the IIsi I used Easy Format to get this 4.5GB drive working.
The Adtron unit on the right was an eBay find ~2015 but went untested as the Macs were in storage. Today Lido formatted one of these to reveal 183MB of space. These were from some sort of server application and are half height, the really nice thing is that they are 50 pin so no adaptor needed. I added System 7.5.5 and various other tools and apps to this drive and had it running in the IIsi all day.
Xmas came a day early (;
