is it sacrilege to replace the internal 5 1/4" drive on an 1000 ex with a 3 1/2" one?
I managed to install one, and get it working (in a nice 5-1/4" mounting adapter and faceplate so it looks nice) ... which is cool because now I can share disks with my SL2. ( which also has a 5 1/4" drive that I cannot access yet because of a possible blown eeprom chip (got one from ebay, waiting for deliver).... ). I kept all the parts, and I know the 5 1/4" drive that was in it is working as I manged to find find a 5 1/5" dos 3.3 boot disk, but it was not complete so I could not sys or format any other disks...
so for now I will keep it in, and it's kinda cool
