The internal EIDE ORB 2.2GB drive fits into the Z64 case. A trick to close the Z64 cover is to leave the Orb mounting screws loose and the drive door open. |
  |
The cheapest solution A long IDE cable and a Y power cable - With a male IDE plug, the cable outside the Z can be much shorter and devices are better pluggable. |
 |
An external 3.5" HD and ZIP Drive The Y power cable is connected to an external powersupply. |
 |
Pictures show DCDC converters to connect the 3.5" HD with the Z powersupply. This solution is to expensive and may not work in all cases. Get a powersupply with 12&5V (cheapest from old external PC devices -Tape,HD) replacing the Z powersupply, or an extra 12V powersupply for the HD only |
 |
The highend solution: A 3.5 removable tray for a 2.5 disk Visit www.ssi.com.tw and ask for a reseller in your region |
 |

  |
Two different commercial adapters for IDE 2.5 to IDE 3.5 connectors No active parts. Just wiring. |
