Editing Apple PowerBook cables (section)

=== Models ===
SCSI Disk Mode is built into the ROM of every PowerBook except the [[PowerBook 140]], [[PowerBook 145|145]], 145B, [[PowerBook 150|150]] and [[PowerBook 170|170]].<ref name="til09137" /> On the [[PowerBook 190]] and [[PowerBook 5300]] the same function is called HD Target Mode, because those models have IDE hard disks.<ref name="til09137" /><ref name="til19184">Apple Computer, Tech Info Library article 19184, ''PowerBook 190 & 5300: HD Target Mode Or SCSI Disk Mode (1/96)'', [http://absurdengineering.org/library/MASTER%20Tech%20Info%20Library/Macintosh%20Hardware/Macintosh%20PowerBook%20Family/TIL19184%20-%20PowerBook%20190%20%26%205300%20-%20HD%20Target%20Mode%20Or%20SCSI%20Disk%20Mode%20%281-96%29.pdf absurdengineering.org library]. HD Target Mode on the 190 and 5300 is the same operation as SCSI Disk Mode.</ref> A PowerBook Duo needs the [[Apple PowerBook Duo MiniDock|Duo MiniDock]] as well as the disk adapter. The [[Apple PowerBook Duo Dock|Duo Dock]], Duo Dock II and Duo Dock Plus do not support disk mode.<ref name="til09137" />

On the PowerBook G3 Series the host Macintosh must run Mac OS 8.1 or later, or it will see no user files on the PowerBook's disk.<ref name="g3ss" /> The G3 Series (Bronze Keyboard) uses SCSI ID 2 for disk mode and the ID cannot be changed. With its NewWorld ROM, the PowerBook's disk must hold a valid system for disk mode to work.<ref name="bronze" />
