Does anyone have one they might be willing to sell? I bought a double height drive for my XT but apparently my machine may have been configured for two of those YD-580s. Mine only came with one.

Okay, just an update. I'll take any black bezeled, 5.25" 360K floppy drive. That hole in the case needs to be filled with something.

Or... if you have access to a 3D printer... you can cover that hole, otherwise you'll be backed into spending around $80 for that 360k drive on Ebay - and of course, they are all "untested" right?

I needed a drive bay adapter to put a card reader into my computer but couldn't find one. This model is of the full drive bay cover. One with a cutout for the smaller drive will be up soon as well.

You can still get hard drive bezels pretty cheap.

Thanks for all of your suggestions, but what it is is that I want to restore my XT to the dual half height configuration it came in. I'm assuming that's what it is because it came with the IBM brackets to hold two floppy drives together and it came missing a drive
