- Sell the two 105 Megers and buy a 200+ meg drive....?
-
- If the drive is 3.5 in .5 height you could remove one of your floppies
- and put it in place of the floppy drive? You might not be able to get
- it flush with the front of the case but it might work.
-
- Or, you may have to go to an external case. I would not recomend you
- try to "lay" it inside somewere. The drive could short out some traces
- on the mother board or it could slide against one of your other internal
- cards and do some damage there.
-
- If you have a friend that is good at mechanical things you MIGHT be
- able to make some kind of holder so you could "suspend" it inside some
- how but that is risky also. An external case is your safest bet. Grab
- a Computer Shopper magazine. You should be able to find yourself an
- external case there. I bought an I*M compatable case with 7 drive bays
- and a 200 W power supply. It works great. Its full, but it works great.
- :) I bought it for $60 at a Ham Fest.
