I have one of those (haven't seen a need for more yet). A friend bought a
type that would "work with all others" and that was (of course) a load of
crap. It was better than mine however since his would not leave the case
open when the HD was removed.
I actually talked the guy in the store to let me buy it for a smaller cost,
I can't remember exactly what I payed (around 19 USD IIRC) but I do know I
got him to lower the price with 10 :)

I've only seen those for 5.25". I find it unlikely that one for 3.5" (the
floppy you mention) exists.

BTW: There's no need to send a personal copy to me. I get enough traffic as
it is with crossposting and these stupid people who send me the sircam
virus. I'm going to take some action about that soon... But I have other
more pressing matters at hand.
