Looking at it now... all that HD case size for only 1.2gb does seem a bit wasteful ..
let alone the power needs! Also got a small pile of 368mb 2.5's in a drawer too I got for the miggy's ages ago ..

Yup this is how we did it alright! Jam in a noisey old 1gb drive and hope it doesnt squash something. I lost a keyboard ribbon doing it this way!
I even found an old 128mb quantum prodrive in a sickly 1200 the other day. I might even have more of the dam things hidden away somewhere lol. Nah this time im going the cf adaptor route as its so much more tidy and quiet
