What's missing is only a connector and some passive components,
so there should be no need to cannibalize another drive.

In the on-line video presentation, Tony only mentions it in passing,
and no procedure for the conversion is given--though it sounds pretty
straightforward.

(I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but it's pretty clear
from the video that production values were not very high on the list
of priorities.  ;-)
