40 Meg SCSI hard drive installed in PROFILE casing

[buggie@musca.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

Last fall, I bought two PROFILE hard drives on the net.   One has a bad 
power supply.   Goal was to upgrade the PROFILE to a modern SCSI hard drive.

Last week, this was done successfully.  The 40 meg Profile HD is now 
booting my IIgs.


Here's what was done:

1.  Opened, removed the 5 meg Seagate HD that is stock for Profile.  Also
	removed the Profile Analog card.

2.  Bought a SCSI INTERNAL CABLE HARNESS ($8 used, A+ Technologies)
	Hacked two holes for the 50-pin SCSI connectors in the back wall 
	of the Profile.

3.  Soldered Molex-4 female connectors to the Profile power supply: one
	for the SCSI HD, one for a 1.5" fan.

4.  Installed orange panel-mounted neon indicator lamp on front panel of 
Profile case (115vac, to indicate when power goes in.)

5.  Installed a yellow LED and green LED on front panel of PROFILE.  
These indicate +12vdc and +5vdc output from power supply.

6.  Installed Quantum 40 meg HD inside, with connectors for: (a) power,
(b) 50-pin internal SCSI, and (c) in-use front panel red LED.

7. Reassembled casing; Connected; it works!   Enjoying its classic Apple 
	II beige styling...
