To determine this, just pull of the back, and see if you have four mount points on the drive case. If yes, you can do it, if not, you can't, unless you can get someone to swap drive cases with you ;-) (they just slide out like the motherboard). So.....it is possible to install these two mechanisms (they are both half-height) into the your hypothetical old netstation. BUT you won't have an internal floppy drive. You will (if you want it) have to wait for NeXT to offer an internal floppy upgrade [or do it yourself] or buy an external. Interesting idea. -Bill- -- __________________Prof. William V.
