[comp.sys.apple] Mac Hard Drive on a IIe

jcy@rayssdb.ray.com (Jeffrey C. Yancho) (02/02/90)

Hi,

I was asked an interesting question, and not knowing 
enough about hard drives to answer, am posing the 
question here.  Would it be possible to use a Mac 
hard drive on a apple IIe with a SCSI interface?
This might only be a rational suggestion if the
Mac hard drive were obtained at no or low cost.
And for that matter, is there a SCSI card available
for an apple IIe?  And most importantly, what about
a software driver for the disk?  

Any response welcome,

Jeff

Jeff, you should be able to do this.  You can buy an SCSI card and
then plug in your mac hard-drive and have it work with just changing
a few jumpers and dip switches.  One place that sells SCSI cards is
Zimco   85-39 213 st, Queens Village NY 11427   1-800-227-6647
for $110 which is  pretty cheap.  :wq
