As you know, the 3,5' bay of the A2000 is 1,5X the height of a normal bay, so any regular 3,5' device would look ugly.

Here is my solution: use the 5,25' bay. The pic below shows how it can be convinient.

wow, that is must have HW :) that will work so great for my A1200 and A2000

@Xanxi >> where did you get that piece of HW and how does it work? Ive never seen anything like it before.

I bought it in a local shop.
That's a 5,25' adapter with a slim DVD bay and a 3,5' bay, along with two front USB ports.
As i don't need a CD/DVD for my A2000, i have a slim bay hard drive adapter from HP, where is my 2,5 IDE drive, which is connected to my SCSI chain with a SCSI-IDE adapter and a slim IDE to 40 pins IDE adapter: quite complicated but it works good and i have a nice front blue LED for my HD acess.
The 3,5' bay holds a combo device with a 3,5 HD frloppy drive (for my bridgeboard), a memory card reader (connected to my Deneb internally), and another front USB port.

All of these USB ports are connected to my internal USB hub, powered from the PSU:


Such a 5,25' adapter would be fine for the Mechy's reader too.
