That makes a lot of sense; many thanks.

One question about the 1-inch bay: Is there an adapter anywhere that would
let me put a 3.5" drive with a door (like a ZIP drive, for example) in the
1-inch bay? I've got the SCSI drive for the full-height bay, and it would be
nice to put an IDE (or even a SCSI) ZIP drive in the 1-inch bay.
