<< ... The only thing I can't figure out though is how do you mount multiple smaller 3.5" drives in it? I saw one auction a while back that had 4 drives, and this picture came from it: <http://redmartian.com/ebay/950-4.jpg> They seem to be mounted on some sort of small brackets. Anyone have an idea what they are or where to get something for mounting multiple drives? >> Normally, drives of any kind (except the floppy, the DDS tape, and any drives mounted in the infamous and unobtainable "five drive shelf") are mounted using an Apple bracket, P/N 805-5106-A, stacked two high and two deep, for a total of four 5.25" 1.6" high drives, or 3.5" 1" or 1.6" high drives. The referenced photo is a homegrown modification to the power supply's drive shelf, which is actually intended as a "receiver" of the P/N 805-5106-A drive mounting brackets. If you're handy with metalworking tools, you could easily duplicate this concept. However, the machine's power and cooling system was not designed to have drives mounted on their edges, as the referenced photo shows. "Good Luck in Your Quadra Improvement Project(TM)".
