Here's what you can do if you can get by with only on 5.25 drive. If you have a duodisk 5.25 set you can plug them into the back of the 3.5 in drive. What I mean is you can daisychain them. If you have the older disk II drives you can get a cable with the mail end that plugs into the back of the 3.5 in drive and on the other end of the cable get the female end 20 pin that connects it the card inside of the disk drive. If you take the drive cover off you will see exactly what I mean. I can guarantee this method will work because I have done it before. Hope this helps, Mike Neuliep E-mail to: mrn31796@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu [Tag under construction]
