In the event that I am in the right place, however, allow me to continue.<br><br>My problem, put simply, is this:<br>I have need to access the external 20MB HDD that was connected to a 1986 Macintosh, the drive connecting to the computer via a parallel port. I have gone to support chats and forums, and have thus far been unable to find assistance.<br><br>Here is what I currently know about the HDD:<br>The device type number
appears to be H0030, based on a small sticker over the I/O switch which offers no context whatsoever about what the number is referring to. The serial number is 3236, if that helps. I think that the drive has a 20MB capacity, although I am not certain of this.<br><br>My computer is running Linux Mint 6, if that is in any way relevant. It has one parallel port, which the drive is currently plugged in to.<br><br>I'm sure you'll need more information than that, but you'll have to tell me what you need and how to find out.<br><br>All I want to do is access the information on the drive, and copy it to a safe place on one of my newer drives. The information is highly valuable to me.<br><br>Again, if this is the wrong place for such things, I apologize for wasting your time. But I was told that you could help, so I thought it worth my time to send this message.<br><br>Thank you.<br></div></div><br>
