By 'doesn't work' I mean that the mounting kit is in a sense
too small.  It doesn't span the space between the hard drive
and the bay.

(I didn't try it, but perhpas I could use the mounting kit to
mount a 3. 1/2" internal floppy drive in the 5 1/4" bay.)

Am I missing slide-in rails for the bay that I need to
attach my 'universal' mounting kit to?

The hard drive I want to mount is a 3 Gb seagate drive.
It's the standard size (whatever that means).  It would
fit just fine in one of the bays for internal hard drives,
but they're both full.

I assumed this would be a no-brainer, and I assumed a
'universal' mounting kit would be just that, but now I'm
trying to figure out how to insure that the next kit I buy
actually works.

Thanks again.
