   I had the same question.... so I called the people at Club Mac.  The
president told me that there is no problem installing a 1/2 height drive
(a 1/3 height drive comes with the IIsi).  He said it simply requires a
different bracket.
   As far as enough power... I don't think there would be a problem with it.
I didn't stop to think to ask that question.  I was informed by the people
at Club Mac that they have had 1/2 height drives running in the IIsi, so
it must not be a problem (knock on wood).
