   Well, I recently got an IBM minitower as a all-purpose SCSI enclosure,
so I decided to trade in my external floptical for an internal. Since
I already have the power supply, SCSI cables, disks and all, I bought a
bare internal floptical for $259 from Dirt Cheap Drives (advertised in
Computer Shopper, the # is (800) 473-0960, I _think_), and will use it
instead.
