No way to install a FULL HEIGHT 5.25" drive INSIDE the Amiga 2000.  If you
have the CBM A2090 controller or any controller that has a SCSI port of the
MAC-type you can attach that to an external disk-case with its own power
supply and any SCSI disk.  I found Sunnyvale Memories (1-800-262-DISK) very
knowlegeble about what/how to interface disks to the Amiga computers.  They
are mentioned in Ted Drude's article in Computer Shopper on Hard Disks for
the Amiga. I saggest you pick up that issue and read the article.
