Hi guys,
I managed to locate a hard disk for my IBM 5155. Its a Seagate ST 225. The plastic front cover seems bigger than the guides on the floppy bays (25mm bigger). Did IBM make a smaller plastic cover for these machines? I've measured it against my floppy drive and its a tiny bit bigger thus impeeding that I can get it in with the cover on. I'm inserting the hard disk from behind as the manual specifies. I don't really want to cut the plastic but don't see any other way?
