I've got all the parts together here to do this project and have been meaning to but never got around to actually doing it. I've got something a little different planned. I have a case & power supply for 2 half-height disks. I also have a 3.5" disk kit from tigertronics for making it look like a 5 1/4" drive. I'm planning on putting both drives into that case, run a cable from inside the machine to the drives, and put in a toggle switch of some sort for the power only. When I need to use the 5 1/4 I power it up, otherwise I power the 3 1/2. How does that sound? I'm glad to know it worked out for you.. -- <---- David Herron -- The E-Mail guy <---- s.k.a.: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <---- <---- [This space for rent].
