Re: 5.25" floppy for towerizing apples

["Bryan Parkoff" <BParkoff@satx.rr.com>]

    I have the same one, but I don't believe that this half 5.25" drive can
be going into the desktop or tower because it does not have its own hole
which screws can be held.  There has to be another way to build a plate that
will hold half 5.25" drive to the desktop or tower.
