Negatory, good buddy! ;D

Somebody gotsta l'arn the younger new chums up on the way us crazy oldtimers sufferers did functional improvement hacks way back in the day . . .

. . . just to save a bit-o-da feeelthy lucre! :approve:

< . . . that was needed for tools other than the Macs and for real life expenses, like bringing up the rugger . . . >

Using an external ZIP? I would have figured you'd use a standard, 50-pin internal SCSI ZIP.

Nope, that's what everyone thinks at first glance, because they haven't fully digested the info posted about the SlotHack quite yet. [] ]'>

Unlike Al's most elegant CC ZipHack, all the plastic is removed from the left side of the FDD slot. That keeps the right side's stock look unmolested and I don't give a rodent's rump about the left side winding up the wrong depth, cuz I'm fakin' that up during the file sculpturing at the new height after the left side's setback has disappeared. Filing away that setback on either side of the CC's floppy slot woulda' meant having a gap-toothed doofus lookin' CC front bezel.

< . . . not that a CC with impeccable choppers doesn't look doofy enough on its ownsome! :lol: )

I'd have to realign an internal Zip drive anyway, the stock sled/tower cannot just be be shifted backward and towards the A/B. That would cover up a quite a bit too much of the primary convection pathway over the hottest parts on the A/B.

So, uncharacteristically (cough) I'm taking this one over the top . . .

. . . I'm gonna go shoot comparison piccies, cuz my 'splainin's probably no as clear as it needs to be . . .

. . . besides, I've always wanted one of those see-through window display cases! }
