HDI-30 System Cable (No graphic shown)
Attaches an external SCSI device (hard drive, Zip drive, CD-ROM, scanner, etc.,) to the PowerBook. Has 29 pins (one corner pin "missing") in the small end that attaches to the PowerBook.
HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter
Makes the PowerBook act like a hard drive when attached to another computer (referred to as SCSI or Target Disk Mode). Has 30 pin in the small end that goes into the PowerBook. The 30th pin tells the PowerBook to act like a hard drive. When booted this way, the PowerBook's monitor will show a SCSI icon floating across the display.
