[comp.sys.misc] Putting an internal HD into an external casing

Hi.

The story so far:
	I've got this Seagate 4096 80Mb HD, that's 5.25FH.
	I've got this computer (an Archimedes 410) that only takes
	  3.5HH drives*.

Technical support suggested I put the HD in a metal casing, and 
hook it from there.  I'm game, but what are the details?  All I know
(for certain, at any rate) is that I've seen the casings available
via mail order.  

How does one do it? *ANY* information would be greatly appreciated!

*unfortunately for me, I found out too late that I was talking to a 
someone who said "Any ST-506 drive will work."  Dang it all...
