By golly you're right - the 5.25 inch floppy won't fit in the upper
bays anyway. Guess I'll have to pull the CD-ROM II and use an
external CD drive. Thanks! (That's sure gotta be easier than hoping
to find an extremely arcane sled at this point.)
Installed the 5.25 inch EE diskette drive tonight. It really *was*
easy. (Works, too ;-) A very nice enhancement to the good ol'
9595-0LG. Talk about access to multiple formats and media: This
machine is now equipped with 2.88 MB 3.5 inch and 1.2 MB 5.25 inch
floppies, ethernet, token ring, and wireless LAN network interfaces,
Warp 4, NT4, Linux, and Boot Manager on 3 GB IML hard drive, and 9 GB
secondary hard drive for data storage. (Full-height 5.25 inch hard
drives give it that solid heft and the sound of some serious iron.)
It's a very sexy brute! (Will be no problem to attach external CD-ROM
if necessary - already configured to Keep in System Setup.)
I may probably replace the Linux partition with PC-DOS, then try to
install and backup some old dBase/Clipper and stuff like that which I
only have on 5.25 inch floppies.
