HI;
I have a CMS SCSI card, and a second internal card that fits in another slot and mounted a 2.5" SCSI PowerBook drive. It looks to me that this second card only took power for the drive from the IIe/IIgs slot. I think MCPricebreakers sold these.
As for the pin-outs on the PowerBook SCSI drive, this link should get you to 184 pages of everything you ever wanted to know about an IBM laptop SCSI drive, including the pinouts on page 37. Other laptop SCSI drives should have the same connector.

Have fun;

PS: Does anyone know why this list seems to come and go.....

I recently came across a couple of 2.5inch SCSI hard drives out of early Apple notebook computers. I thought it might be an interesting exercise to see if I could connect one of these to an Apple ][gs or ][e. I have a couple of SCSI cards for these and thought it might be possible to build an adapter to connect one of these drives to the card. However, I would need to match the "pin outs" for the card and drive. I have had no luck finding pin outs for the drive. I think I have the pin outs for the cards.
Any clues where one might find the pin outs for these hard drives?

If there Apple PowerBook drives; the Service Manuals for the PowerBooks they came from list pinout's I think!
Supplying Power to the 2.5" drives maybe interesting. You don't want to overload the SCSI Card.
