I used the external port, an internal male to male 25 pin converter, and a 25 to 50 pin SCSI adapter... Extended the power cables.... and used a 50 pin Iomega scsi Drive.



Cost:


40 bucks (or less)



I ordered 2 zips when I purchased on ebay, and the dummy sent me one zip and one Jazz drive.

Still sweet either way.



Just like this:

COOL! Those internal SCSI Zip drives are hard to come by.

Assuming this is the finished installation example...

Consider properly shielding/insulating ( with non conductive tape ) the installed form factor conversion adapters... otherwise short circuits with front panel rotary encoder areas and/or other circuits may happen.

Have seen this before.

Hence the suggestion.

Anything 50 pin is getting more scarce. I got some tricks on lock though :)


@rohan.

I had to play around with a few spots for the mount... I have a good location now, but you are correct about isolation... the rotary encoder is damn close (had to bend the stock mount)

Its all gravy tho. I used a pen cap to stabilize the rig and some hot glue.

this is my actual install (not internet photo)
