Pretty similar to yours, actually.  I have a Transwarp GS on a
ROM 01, 4MB, two SCSI hard drives and an internal Zip drive,
an Apple 3.5 drive (modified according to Tony Diaz instructions
with a front face plate from a Wintel 3.5" drive), and an Apple High
Speed SCSI card.

The Apple 3.5 drive mech fits right into a Wintel drive bay, just the
casing gets in the way.  Go to http://www.apple.org/ for info on
how to make it fit.

It is a killer unit!  ;-)
