Help! This is a weird one.
I have a Sun Remarketing Macintosh XL (a.k.a. Lisa 2 modified). It has
Sun's Parallel-to-SCSI card which runs a ribbon cable out the back of the
machine and plugs into the external parallel port. OK, I've heard of such
configurations, so far, so good.
Problem is, neither the Kalok SCSI hard drive nor the 800K floppy drive spin
up when I power on the machine. I pulled out the drive enclosure, and there
is no power connected. The Sun Parallel-to-SCSI has a 6-pin right-angle
power connector on it. There is a loose power connector in the drive area,
but it has only 3 pins on a totally different spacing. What is going on
here?
thanks!!
