Does anyone know where to find a kit which allows you to mount a 5 1/4" hard disk in a Mac IIcx ? I need the 80 meg drive instead of the 40 meg which came with the machine, but unfortunately it is a full size drive. Any help greatly appreciated .... Douglas E.

"Why you young whippersnapper--I remember when full-size meant 8" full-high drives, and portable meant you could drag it by yourself!" MicroNet in Irvine has such bracketry for their own drives; I know not if they sell it separately. There used to be funny metal brackets so you could put full-high 5-1/4" drives into a II or IIx. Haven't seen 'em in a while. Alex
