| Posted by: Crutch on 2019-11-29 09:08:16 Stumbled on this awesome photo in the August 1986 MacWorld, p. 57. It seems like such an obviously nifty idea back then (if perhaps useless and silly) — I had an unenhanced 512k with external floppy and would loved to have gotten it mounted like this with added fan (and a dust filter??). Curious if anyone has or has seen one of these guys. A google search reveals a few mentions on various forums in the past, but I couldn’t find an actual modern photo anywhere.  | |
