I stripped the guts ot of an old 20/40 Dat drive with the exception of the psu and fan.
This of course gives me a 12v/5v supply for the drives.
and 2 5.25 inch bays.
The Dat drive occupied 2 bays with its bulk.
I then had to fabricate a back panel to cover the space vacated by the centronics scsi connectors.
This was made in plastic ...and made a suitable mount point for the SCP+ board.
Sadly there is no easy way to mount this as there are no screw holes of mount points.
I settled on trapping it in a heath robinson affair made from pcb slide guides and white plastic fibre board ..
Thus it could now be mounted on the back-plate with the usb socket exposed to the outside.
The 2 drives chosen where a Sony 1.44mb 3.5" (drive 1) and a Teac 1.2mb 5.25" floppy drive (drive 0)
I only really use my SCP+ for archiving so these should do nicely.
So ..already owning a Kroflux unit which was built into a similar but flat case...and now my recently aquired SCP+ board I figure I am now covered for archiving most floppies I encounter.
Thanks Jim.
