I have seen a device that would just do it for you. It is a frame that fits into 5.25" bay, has mounting brackets for a 3.5" drive and has 2 small fans at front that blow air from outside on the drive. As I understood, this is what you need. I don't remember the address/phone, but I remember that I saw it in PC Magazine, in Classified Ads section. If you can't lay your hands on PCMag, mail me and I'll look the ad up. <> Max Timchenko [MaxVT] <> <> [log in to unmask] On Wed, 5 May 1999, Changhsu P.
