Emax

i did the same as ted i brought some hard drive extension plates so that you 
can fit more hard drives in a pc they are just metal plates with the corect 
size and spacing holes

you need to put some rubber washers under the plate and the cf drive so that 
it sits correct

they are 3mm screws

the slim floppy is  about 5mm smaller in size so you need to add rubber 
washers to space it properly

i just cut the 3mm screws to the right length
