Here is a different kind of hack the "Compubrick 160" is the original Compubrick! Also for some great ideas and mind stimulating web pages check out their site at www.applefritter.com lots of hacks!

How to make an external SCSI bay.

First you'll need a coputercase with a power supply. I would not just get any old case. You will find out that it is worth going out and getting a new case. The older ones are too heavy and difficult to get inside. A new case like a new tower works great. They are light and easy to get in and out of. Make sure your case has a power supply!!. Next you will need an internal SCSI cable to external SCSI port adapter. These will run you from $9 to $25 bucks (I got mine at Falcon Tech. in St. Louis Mo. They actually carry them there! I will post contact info soon.) You will also need a HDI SCSI adapter for the power book, and a 25 pin to 25 pin SCSI cable, to connect from the SCSI adapter on the MAC to the external SCSI cable port on your case, and an internal 7 port SCSI cable to go into your tower.

Open the case and install the internal to external adapter. Plug the internal SCSI cable to the internal to external adapter a 50 pin interface. Plug the power cables into your SCSI devices. Plug them into the internal SCSI cable also. Close case, and plug the external 25 pin to 25 pin SCSI cable to the back of the external port on you tower, and the other end to your HDI-SCSI Adapter. Set up your proper SCSI ID settings and termination and power up the tower. Now power up the Power Book, insert a CD ROM and check it out! One may want to consider going from the HDI-SCSI Adapter to their ZIP drive to the SCSI bay.

I have not done this but want to and will try it soon if anyone can help me with this let me know!!!

Basically disconnecting the display and hanging it on the wall and showing Pics or a screen saver or whatever. One would want to hide the PB unit it self too.

If any one knows of any examples of this let me know. I have heard of this being done but have not confirmed this.
