	Personally, I would NEVER use IBM's standard full height floppy.
I bought two half-height DSDD floppy drives for < $140.. you can get a 
pair for even less now.  ANYBODY who has a full height drive, now is the
time to get a replacement (or 3).  Make sure your floppy controller can handle
handle more than one (most can handle four).

	With my configuration, I have two half-height floppies, and a 20Meg
half-height hard drive, with one half-height openning left over.

	Also, anybody getting a hard-drive MUST get a 130Watt+ power supply.
IBM's 60Watt standard cannot handle a HD + 5 filled slots.
