All:
Does anyone have a consistent source for dual 5.25? half-height external
floppy drive enclosures? I?m looking for an external case for my 68k SBC.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Consider an old SCSI chassis. Ebay has them all the time. You might also
find them at hamfests.

I've still got a bunch of new PS/2 Diskette Adapter/A enclosures
(complete with SMPSUs; really nice units). How many do you need?
Cheers,

They look like this one (not my photo, but if you've seen one, you've
seen them all):

Drive not included. Internally, there's a nice shielded SMPSU and a
shield going over the drive itself. Internally, the cable's
connected to a 34-position edge connector and the external
conenctor's a DC-37 male. Power is the standard 4-pin large
diskette/HD standard. AC power through a standard IEC connector.
In original boxes with IBM pamphlet.

I actually have two of these with 1.2mb drives in them. I was going to use
it for my IMSAI (as 1.2mb 5.25" drives are similar enough to 8" in format)
to replace the dual 8" drives that I loathe.
I found a dual-SCSI case for $50 on-line. I'm going to browse eBay tonight.
That case is a bit shorter (in depth) than the IBM one.
