I have an old InnerDrive 40MB hard drive that wouldn't spin up. I cut it out of the old power supply enclosure and used a 3rd party power supply (from a firewire enclosure) to power the drive. You can see how I've connected the chassis of both the hard drive to the IIGS so the grounds don't float from each other and screw up the data transfer. The hard drive fortunately is a PC compatible MFM or RLL drive, pre-IDE, but using the same 4-pin power supply. The second IIGS is a loaner from a friend. I'm using a CFFA CompactFlash Apple II board to replace the hard drive.

M0001 Macintosh - the computer that told the world never to trust a machine you couldn't lift.
At present it looks like a candidate for Retr0bright - although as this wasn't a Platinum case I'm actually not sure how noticeable the effects would be.
And here it is, the new Amiga, or the A1-X1000. The hardware's supposedly really impressive; when it's out, it'll cost £1500-2000. One for the true fans, then.
