- You should also cut a couple of the support bars inside the top half of
- the plastic case. If the case still doesn't fit, remove some of the
- screws on the back of the keyboard. That should leave you with plenty of
- space for a 3.5" slim HD.

- I have two 3.5" IDE hard disks in my A1200 and I just had to cut the
- metal shielding and the plastic support bars to make them fit.
