I have also been considering this move but I was worried about 1 thing.  The
Seagate drives tend to put out a *LOT* of heat.  Mounting the drive under the 
floppies leaves little (if any) room for air cooling.  Anyone know, in general
, what this will end up doing?

Also, did anyone wire up a new LED to watch for drive activity?
