I don't have room inside my computer housing for a second floppy drive and
need to add a 3.5" 720/1.44 drive externally.  Since I intend to use it with
UNIX, it must appear to the system as a vanilla second drive, so Sysgen and
Pacific Rim are out.  I have been advised to extend the second drive ribbon
cable outside the computer (386 compaq) and plug it into an external self
powered housing, but I'm looking for a solution that will maintain FCC
certification (as in: shielded cable from computer to external housing). Any
assistance in finding such a beast would be appreciated.  Please respond via
E-mail to lower net bandwidth.    Thanks.
