Speaking of almost-blank ISA cards, I have a really
neat one here (in the
Mountaingate RDR I was asking about a few weeks back). The ISA bus
connections are limited only to power and ground lines, I think, though I
couldn't actually get it to work outside the backplane it came in. It has
a 40 pin IDE header on the other edge of the card, which plugs into an IDE
controller. Then it takes those signals and the power from the bus and
runs it all into a laptop-style 44 pin header, so you can mount a 2.5"
drive right there on the card with its provided screwholes. I think it
would be even cooler to combine a card like that with a really simple IDE
controller, and have the whole setup and drive on one card there.
If you're not that picky about the size and interface, old "hardcards" did
just that, though those were nearly full-length.
A lot of Zorro SCSI controllers have on-board fitting brackets for 3,5" drives
as well.
