"Full size"--We'll presume that's 5-1/4" half-height.

"Why you young whippersnapper--I remember when full-size meant 8"
full-high drives, and portable meant you could drag it by yourself!"

MicroNet in Irvine has such bracketry for their own drives; I know not
if they sell it separately.

There used to be funny metal brackets so you could put full-high 5-1/4"
drives into a II or IIx.  Haven't seen 'em in a while.
