[DM-MUG] 7100 drive connector

[CW Smith]

Sometime, right about the time of the x100s, Apple switched from using SCSI
drives to IDE drives.  If the 7100 drive is SCSI (50 pins), it will take
some work and parts to mount it in the Blue & White.

Probably better to get an external case for a SCSI drive (but why bother
with only 750 MB?)

Get an inexpensive, used IDE drive (6-10 GB) and mount it in the Blue &
White.  Connect the two computers using Ethernet and copy needed files from
the 7100 to the Blue & White.

If you don't have the Ethernet dongle for the 7100, maybe an external SCSI
Zip drive will let you move your files from one machine to the other.

Let me know if I can help.

Peace,
CW
