     Yes, that long cartridge is indeed a pain.  I discovered, though,
that you can get an extension cable from ReadySoft themselves.  Now I
can put the cartridge up against the wall and not have it take up all
that space.

     My Mac drive still sits beside the machine, though.  As nice as
your internal mounting trick sounds, my lower bay is already full.
