I can pick up IBM low-density 3.5 drives for ~50, and looking at the pinouts
for the IBM devices and for the A500 external connector, it seems that they
use the same signals and power levels.

Assuming I could find an acceptable case and a DB23 connector, would there
be any major obstacles to this hack??
