any chance we could develop a hidden drive solution ? I somehow don't want to
temper with the original appearance of the cmi.
as I type this line a few
ideas come to mind.. how .bout making a card witch holds the HxC and fit this
one in one of the empty slots?
or maybe create a faceplate that you can
open like a door hiding the HcX behind it and keeping the classic look of the
cmi intact.....or a external box ofcourse.
any toughts on this .. or does
my fear of losing the original industrial design seems ridiculous : )
?

very much Joe for your help. . I read on the HxC forum that problems with image
seem to be solved. (http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=118&p=6950#p6950)

copied to the HxC "floppydrive".

Not at all!
Uploaded two pics, of how the
upgrade could look. First of how a plain Fairlight-colored plate would
look. On the other picture a black stripe is placed where the 8" drive
was.
Looking at this, I think it is
perhaps also possible to make the panel to the left of the 8" drive into a
"door" and hide the HxC behind it.....

Peter Kersten.
