At the end of the article, he indicated that the mod requires the external
Buggie power supply.  So instead of mounting the drive over the card
slots, the drive is mounted where the power supply should be.

Actually, this is sort of what I have.  My floppy drives are external, but
my HD is...I mean, will be...INternal.  I have the Vulcan-GS power supply.
 I have since removed the mechanism (it now lives in my enhanced ][e) and
bought an Apple HS_SCSI card and a 250Mb drive; as soon as I get a proper
DB25->SCSI cable built, the drive is going into its new home inside the
Vulcan case.  And now that I have the SCSI pinouts (courtesy of an Amiga
3000 manual), that will be happening fairly soon.  I can hardly wait...the
computer case will deaden some of the noise from that drive!
