I found the commercial 2.5 to 3.5 inch conversion available from electronics stores will work and you have enough room between the Falcon power supply and the floppy drive although you would need to devise a hard drive support and cut away some of the internal support of the plastic cover. BUT and But the generally available 2.5 to 3.5 is a rigid piece and you can't close the case. A 44 idc female 44 way cable and 40 way female is hard to get as are the individual components. However the best alternative is to get an Amiga 2.5 to 3.5 inch conversion kit for the Amiga1200 these are easily available from your local amiga dealer. I had a lot of trouble until I swapped the generic commercial conversion kit in the 030 and swapped it into the A1200 and put the A1200 kit in the 030. Now you can close the case. :-) Regards Anthony
