Full height 3.5" drives are 1-5/8" tall, which just happens to be 1/2 of the height of a full-height 5.25" drive. 1-5/8" is 1.625". One half of 1-5/8" is 0.8125" For marketing reasons, manufacturers try to make 3.5" drives a maximum of 1" high, except for the older SCSI models, for which 1-5/8" applies. The SE, SE/FDHD and SE/30 drive carrier was designed for 1" drives. It cannot accommodate 1-5/8" drives. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
