well well well.  I've got all the parts together here to do this
project and have been meaning to but never got around to actually
doing it.

I've got something a little different planned.  I have a case & power
supply for 2 half-height disks.  I also have a 3.5" disk kit from 
tigertronics for making it look like a 5 1/4" drive.  I'm planning
on putting both drives into that case, run a cable from inside the
machine to the drives, and put in a toggle switch of some sort for the
power only.  When I need to use the 5 1/4 I power it up, otherwise
I power the 3 1/2.

How does that sound?

I'm glad to know it worked out for you..
