Floppy emulators are great and so is that guys A2000 5-1/4" bay mod. I wonder how he changes SD cards though... maybe he cut into the bezel so he can access it from below?

I'm that guy, and I mounted the SD slot and the mainboard in the right 3.5" drive bay (leaving the faceplate on). FYI.

Did you watch the video? he detached the small lcd so the actual floppy emulator was placed in the old floppy drive, you can see in the video that he pulls out an sd card from the floppy.

I actually ordered one of those earlier today =)

ahh, OP beat me to it! =)
