[Coco] Coco1 and IDE HD power

[Bill Pierce]

If you have an old unused Coco drive case w/PS, that works great with an IDE. I have mine mounted in and old Drive case using the original PS. I had a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter plate from my old 3.5 drive to mount the drive on (I don't use floppies at all now). Then I took the extra "blank" from a couple of old cases and covered the front. It looks nice and neat. All I need now is to mount 2 LEDs for the case, one for power and the other for activity and it will be complete.
