place to work with any HD I had on hand here...

I finally got a chance to try the Silicon Valley
Computer ADP50L (an
8-bit ISA IDE controller) in my IBM 5160 and I have to say, I love the
thing and want to put it to full active use. My problem is, how do I
properly mount a "modern" (3.5" half-height) hard drive into the case?
Why not use a 3.5"-5.25" floppy mounting adapter? They shouldn't be hard
to find. If you lacked a filler plate of the correct size for the bezel,
you could always cut out a sheet of tinted acrylic or ABS to do the job.
