Hey all,

I have a Macintosh II that has a hard drive that Uniserver set me up with (thanks man!). The problem I'm having is I can't wrap my brain around how to mount the drive into the Mac II. The computer originally had a 5.25 full height drive that went bad. Does anyone know of an adapter from 5.25 to 3.5, or even 5.25 to 2.5?

Would something like this work or is there a direct solution to this without jerry-rigging it together?

I'm open to other solutions, but wanted to see if I could find some brackets first before I head directly to Goop. I was hoping solution that would let me remove the hard drive easily if I wanted. What do you guys think?
