68818 (402) 694-4707 provides a nifty little cable which splits the data
and control lines between the internal 3.5" drive and their external 5.25"
drive (AT HD drives also available). This allows both drives to be used,
but only one at a time. (The usual disclaimer applies--I've no connection
with them except as a satisfied customer having used their ext. 3.5" drive
on my AT)
