Did you end up trying anything yet? Isn't there some requirement for a working
battery for it to power on or was that just the power routing through the
battery so a corroded one isn't a simple run without it fix?

If that old Conner is still good, you're one of the lucky ones for sure..
We had to build a new disk for ours, and if I recall, you only need to load
the correct version of standard MacOS (6.0.4?) and it will recognize the
portable and install the correct software for it. There may also have been

As far as I know, the old Conner SCSI drive should (might) s
Yep, that's exactly what you needed!
I'll be very interested to hear how it works out. Do you plan to mount
another conventional disk, or will you try a SCSI2SD type option?

I am not certain exactly what you mean by polarity in this case, but I’m
guessing that you are asking which contact is positive and which is negative.
If that’s the case, the center socket is positive, and the outer jacket band is
negative.
I hope this helps.

I wasn't aware that Apple had published the specs for that connector, so
you're correct that it's not proprietary in

I can't answer your question about PSU polarity, but I do have some
experience with the Mac Portable hard drive. I had to 'make' a replacement
drive for one, almost 20 years ago now.. so forgive me if there are errors
in this!
You're correct about the drive connector, it's one of those maddening
