I've got an mono-040-upgrade cube with an OD and 340mb Maxtor disk.
Well I'm out of disk space and could use some advice...
I'm looking for somewhere over a gig and around 12ms access (or faster).
The plan is to ditch my Maxtor and replace it with another internal
disk. Who's got recommendations for such an animal? Oh, and I'd like
it to be a quiet drive.

Also, the old disk is a 5-1/4" full height drive. Can I replace it with
a 3-1/2" half height? If I do this can I fit a floppy drive in my cube?
Where can I get a floppy drive mechanism without the external case?
Do I need a new faceplate? Is it actually possible to house a floppy
drive, a hard disk and an OD in the same cube? And what about cables?

Please email suggestions, I'll summarize.
Thanks for any help.
