SCSI-IZE YOUR PROFILE!


Rather than to mess with the 5 meg capacity of the PROFILE, just install
SCSI ports in it!   I DID----- I have a 235 meg SCSI hard drive in my
Profile!   It uses the internal power supply.

I also installed a 115v front panel neon power indicator, and two LEDs to
monitor the +5v and +12v output lines.  The original red LED lamp shows IN
USE.

Main thing is that the internal PROFILE power supply is good.

I can do the SCSI-ization work on your Profile for $25, including the
three front-panel indicator lamps; $20 if the three lamps are not wanted.
The above prices include the SCSI cabling hardware, return shipping is
extra.

Long live SCSI-ized ProFile!

: I recently acquired a ProFile Hard Drive with the intention of using it on my
: Apple /// - the price was pretty much unbeatable.  As I was looking it over
: after I got home, I found a plastic tab marked "Pull to remove" stuck to its
: side.  I figured it might be to deactivate power for servicing or something.
: Being a bit curious and not wanting to just "pull to remove" an unknown item,
: I carefully opened the case to see where the other end might be.  It was
: attached to the head mechanism with a fairly strong adhesive, apparently to
: lock the head in place - for transport, most likely.  Except it looks like
: it's a one-time pull.

: So here's the question:
: Any chance this drive is brand-spanking-new?  It sure looks like it could be.
: Perhaps the mechanism was replaced in the past, and a new tab put in place?
: It would have been impossible to put this strip in place without the case
: being open, and I can't imagine an average user cracking the case and doing
: so.

: Other, slightly less important questions:
: How do I tell how large the media is?  The model # is A9M0005, so it's LIKELY
: a 5Meg, but if the mechanism was replaced, could a 10Meg or even larger have
: been fitted?
: And where do I get an interafce for it?  I thought I had one, but I was
: mistaken.  Apple /// Profile interface for sale, anyone?  I would need the
: cable as well.

: Any input is welcome.  Flames re: 'Apple /// is not Apple //' > /dev/null  :)
