I have an old mac performa computer with an 800 mb hard drive, and I'm hopiong to find an external hard drive thats only about .5-1 gb in size, a little more or less is fine. The only thing is, the only input for anything on the computer (besides keyboard/printer etc) is a parallel port, so the hard drive would have to connect to a parallel port or have some kind of adapter allowing it to do so. Let me know if you have any ideas or have one. Thanks
I don't know anything about Macs but does it have a PCI slot so that you could add a USB port card? Then you would have several options, from external drives to flash drives.
Those performa only have a PDS slot which is usually used for the video/TV tuner add on card. I think that Zip drive is actually a DB25 SCSI drive, since the only thing even close to PC related on that thing is the IDE hard drive. The CD-ROM is SCSI, and it should have an external SCSI port. Check out this link and site for more specs and info.
Interesting, but I just took a look at the zip drive, and it is definitely parallel or something that is completely identical. Any other ideas? Also, that link said Quadra, and mine is a performa, but the pic looked right, so I dunno. Thanks again
