Anyone ever noticed that the NeXT Optical Drive and the Apple floppy drive have the same connector?

Anyone tried connecting the OD to a mac??

I doubt it.

Okay, so I had to give it a try...
The standard floppy connector on a mac supplies the drive's power as well, so, hooking up the OD to it (and the OD's 5v connector) prevents the power supply from activating.

Rats, but worth a try :)
