Subject: Re: Whale Harness

The wiring harness is actually the easy part. It's a little tedious, but as long as you are careful, and you check your work, you should not have a problem. Be careful when you are pulling the cable off of the analog board connector, though. the contacts in the connector will pull out with the cable if you aren't careful. They can be put back in, but there are a lot of them. Extending the IDE cable is not exactly fun, though. Just remember, that if you are using a standard IDE cable, you will want to put the red wire on c11, not c50. (This just means you flip it over) Apple put the cables together backwards for years. The red wire should be on the right side of the drive (near the power connector) when plugged in. The "foxcon" IDE cables that apple used had the red wire on the left. The funny part, is that the red wire doesn't really need to be there at all. I have done several, trust me, I am right.

Also, in case you have been confused by all the conflicting information out there, the 6500 board does not require a 3.3v regulator. The classic does not need an additional power supply for the 6500 board, unless you are using power hungry 5v PCI cards. (5v is in short supply) If you want to use a 3.3v/5v pci card in the classic with a 6500 board, you will need a regulator, as the motherboard only regulates the 3.3v power for itself, and does not feed this power to the pci slots. The pci slots get their power from the 3.3v line on the harness. I do recommend using a laptop hard drive, also.
