[SPARCbook] Sparcbook 3GX drive or info needed

[stephen price]

I have qty 2 x ibm dprs-21251 17mm (5/8") tall 2.5 scsi drives - out of a rdi
powerlite 110 (I think - been many years).
Not sure if that is too tall for a
3gs ...
You're welcome to them if you want them..
no caddies tho - sorry
regards
steve

drive or info needed
 

I bought a caddyless and driveless 3GX recently. I
seems to boot up just fine to the prom and passes diagnostics. I Also bought 2
32Mb sticks to upgrade it to 64Mb ram. I also hope to rebuild the battery
pack. Hopefully with significantly better capacity.


Does anyone have a drive
or caddy? Also if not I may end up making my own makeshift drive out of a
powermonster CF to scsi adapter and possibly custom pcb or cable. But, that
leaves me wondering what the exact type of connector i need is.

it appears
similar to SCA-2... I'd need a male connector on the drive. the 3GX manual and
powermonster CF adapter manual at least give all the pinouts so it should not
be too hard to make an adaptor for it to my sparcbook if I was sure of the
physical connector type.

If I can get that done I would then need a caddy...
perhaps someone could 3d scan thier drive caddy?
