Humm... ok, then maybe it isn't a simple swap. I don't have a portable,
so I have to go off the PDF tech guide I have. It doesn't indicate
anything special about the drive, so I made what must be a wrong
assumption that it was the standard SCSI drive Apple used in everything
else of that era.
The only picture of the drive in the PDF doesn't show enough detail to
know what the connector is like. And Seagate doesn't seem to admit the
CP-3045 (taken from the pic on ebay) exists.
I did however locate a page on lowendmac.com that shows how to build a 50
pin to 34 pin converter cable to replace the Portable's drive with a more
standard 50 pin SCSI drive. It was listed under the pages for the Mac
Portable.
