Great idea, Tomas. But the issue is at least mechanical: How do I fit the thing in? There is a space under the optical drive, but it seems unwise to just stick a bare board into a space surrounded by metal protrusions and let it slide around at random. After solving the mechanical issues, then I can explore the connections. The mechanical issues are solved by the "storage converter", and that is what I have been unable to find or even identify in any specific way.
