Micronet has done this (They are also the ones who had 2 wren runners 
wired as one, as described in the previous article), I have one of their
Wren V 173 meg drives in my ci as I write this. It does not interfere with
the nubus slots, but it does block use of the cache slot, at least with
current (ie the daystar) cache cards.  If someone could come out with
a lower profile cache card things would be ok.

Also, they will not sell the bracket alone, as they feel they invested alot
in its development.
