BigBadBiologists BigBadBench | Macintosh Plus internal SCSI modification - how to @BigBadBench | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The Macintosh Plus has an external SCSI port, but BlueSCSI and similar devices would be really cool to have internally. I designed this little PCB a while ago for adding internal SCSI to a Mac Plus, but had some issues with the functionality (that I ultimately traced to a bad jumper). I think it is good to go, so let me show you how to install this. It's not easy. :(
PCB design files will be posted here (you can just download the zip file and send that to the PCB manufacturer):

My initial work involved soldering a SCSI cable right to the SCSI controller chip. It worked fine, but lacked elegance:

A few years ago, I bought an Apple II plus that was... well loved. Lets see if we can make it pretty and functional!
