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.

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.
