Installing internal scsi hard drive in 2k classic

OK, I've looked at the mods to turn the external scsi port to internal for card readers and such, my question is this:

what is the safest place to tap 12v power for a hard drive in the MPC 2k classic?

P.S. if anyone has a scsi card reader or internal scsi zip for sale let me know. I don't want to spend $200.00 when i already have some scsi hard drives of much larger capacity, but my fear is that 12v puts too much strain on the MPC power supply.

any comments?

I wouldn't use a harddrive cause you will always have that annoying sound from the spinning drive.

peace

I used the 5v positive (I think it was brown) and ground (red wire) for the floppy drive and the 12v positive (yellow wire) and negative (black wire) coming from the power supply.

Sooooo.... did you get it working

I just got the adapter in today to turn my external scsi into internal 50-pin. I will try it tonight and if it works, I'll report back tomorrow with the link for the part I used.

Thanks for your help with the power hookup. I didn't realize there was 12v right on the power supply. How convenient!!!

Was your project a success?

I would be interested in making a similar modification to a 2K.
