Title: Escom A4000T Floppy Drive Bay
Post by: amiga1084 on July 15, 2006, 03:32:28 PM

Hello All,

I want to add other Floppy Drive to My Escom made A4000T,
are the Bays and rails easy to come by? As I haven't seen any in Australia.

Thanks in advance Merv  :roll:

All you need are the rails. You can then use standard 3.5" to 5.25" brackets between the floppy and the rails. Here are the rails:

What you want are Enlight Drive Rails (not Enlight Rail Rack Kit)

Edit: cheaper on fleabay here. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-8-Drive-Rails-for-Enlight-and-Many-others_W0QQitemZ290007769931QQihZ019QQcategoryZ44956QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

The actual bay and the faceplate are, amazingly, fully standard components. Even more amazingly, they both come in a kit which is still commonly available. At least at the Micro Center near me.

EDIT: But yes, 3.5" adaptor hardwware works too.
