Title: Looking for help getting files off a Syquest SCSI drive
Post by: RichardW on September 24, 2020, 07:20:01 PM
Just wondering whether anyone in the Mac Users Group would have an older Mac computer in working condition that has a SCSI port. We have some files on a Syquest EZ135 drive that we would really like to be able to copy to our newer Mac computers.

If you have an older Mac with a SCSI port please get in touch.

When the Syquest EZ-135 was connected to a SCSI port on my Power Mac G4 (Mac OS 9) all was well except for the fact that the EZ- 135 drive motor does not spin up.
I am looking to purchase  or  borrow for a few days a WORKING external or internal SCSI Syquest EZ-135 Drive that would allow me to access and copy files from nine Syquest EZ-135 disks.

Now have WORKING External Syquest SCSI EZ-135 Drive connected to SCSI card in Power Mac G4.  Booting Mac OS 9.2.1 was able to read files on all nine Macintosh formatted EZ-135 disks.  Files copied to USB flash drive for transfer to 2012 Mac Mini.
