Using your Macintosh PowerBook as a hard disk

You can purchase a cable called the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter that
lets you connect your Macintosh PowerBook to another computer as a hard
disk. The PowerBook appears on the desktop of the other computer as a hard
disk icon, and you can transfer information between the computers by
dragging files. This feature is called SCSI disk mode.

The Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter cable is dark gray, is about 10 inches
long, and has 30 pins.
