Apple External SCSI Hard Drive 300GB RARE Vintage Macintosh Upgrade M2603 M2604

Gigabytes are larger than megabytes. This rare drive will give your vintage or legacy Macintosh an unprecedented and spacious upgrade. The external 20SC enclosure (based on Apple model numbers M2603 and M2604) was retrofitted with a faster and more quieter 300GB drive. These beige enclosures are rare and highly collectible among Mac Classic fans. You may use a standard power cable - does not use an external power supply. Drive is formatted with the Mac OS Standard specification allowing compatibility with 68040 and PowerPC systems, not the Mac OS Extended format (limited to PowerPC systems). Once mounted on the Macintosh Finder desktop, the drive has an available 278 gigabytes (278GBs) of free space after formatting because the operating system calculates the drive available space with an indexing system. This drive was setup, configured and tested on a Power Macintosh G3 desktop with Mac OS 9. This drive is supported with Mac OS 7.6.1 or later with 68040 systems (Mac OS 8.1 is suggested when using 68040 systems), and is expected to accommodate booting the computer with a valid System Folder. Full drive capacity will not function on System 7.5.5 or 68030 processors, it is unsupported. The yellow/orange LED glows solid when the power switch is switched from "off" to "on". This SCSI ID is set to 4 (four). Additional reformatting or different drivers are unsupported.

These drive enclosures are over 25 years old and may have signs of wear and tear, including some scuffs, light or thin cracks, interior rust, fading or yellowing caused to the aging plastics. Some rubber feet may fall off or be absent. See pictures to see this item in operation.
