If you mean the Emax rack- yes you use both original brackets and mod them.
If you mean the keyobard- you attach the media drive to the plate with the mod wheels just like the original floppy, then you attach the slim floppy to the SIDES of the media drive with the brackets you make.

i'm gonna try that 2morrow and report!
