20 MByte Hyper Drive for a MAC 512K E For those who don't remember this is the first/orginal internal Hard Disk for the early Macs 512k. ******* Only those SKILLED Hardware Hackers SHOULD consider buying this Hard Disk! ******* Inventory of items. 20 Miniscribe 3 1/2" half height ST-506 hard disk small switcher power supply 115 VAC in +12 and +5 out Brackets to mount hard disk and supply an ST-506 Hard Disk interface that "clips on to the 68000" processor floppy disk with version xx.xx a small Fan to keep things cool NO MANUAL OR OTHER WRITTEN MATERIAL ... I do not have any ... sorry NOTE: I tried to format the hard disk using an Adaptec 4000A SCSI controller board and SF&I formater software. I could only get the drive to format out to 10 Mbytes. I will include a copy of the SF&I format utility if the buyer is interested. I am asking $35 and the buyer pays shipping via UPS or US mail.

I do not have any ... sorry If anyone buys this and wants a users' manual, I have one. I do not have the installation manual, but there is a picture in the users' manual which should be adequate for anyone skilled enough to do this kind of hardware hacking. One alternative (I did this for a friend) is to sell the drive to a PC user and use the hardware (including fan and PSU) to install an internal SCSI drive in a 512. The interface board, in this case, is a high-tech ornament. The biggest problem with the Hyperdrive, in my experience, is the connector on the interface card that connects the board to the 68000 on your Mac.
