Laptop CDROM drive in a 3000D

[gazgod]

I'm pondering fitting a laptop cd drive inside a 3000D, just wondering if there is room to fit one over the floppy drive? Anyone tried this?

Thought I'd ask here before breaking the rulers out.

Thanks for the info.

I have a laptop cdrom from a dell mini desktop here which has a plastic surround for the drive which will make mounting easier and a 40 pin adapter securely mounted on the back.

I already have a scsi dvdrom in an external case but would prefer an internal drive.

Relax I have a spare 3000 case, so i can always return it to standard.

I was also considering mounting the cdrom in the right hand side of the case (like a sun ss20 or ultra 1) but considering the lid slides off this would be impractical without mounting the cdrom to the lid of the case and having a very long ide and power cables so the lid could be slid off with the cables attached. But these may interfere with the airflow to the 060 and I wouldn't want that.
