I have the Zip drive in hand, but recovery will still require a power
supply, a Mac with a SCSI port, a 25/25-pin SCSI cable (or two 25/50-
pin cables and an intermediary device), ADB keyboard and mouse, and a
DB15-cabled monitor.
I have all of these things. They're packed into a 5x8 storage unit,
but I have access to it today. Please let me know if Noisebridge has
any of these already.
Oh, and we'll need some kind of file transfer software. A Basilisk
II or SheepShaver VM should be able to connect to File Sharing on a
System 7 machine. Another option is netatalk. Though the Mac should
already have a Web browser, which means I can download an HTTP server.
