Thanks,

But what would happen if I connect the two 5.25 drives I have here, taken from an old PC ? Are the likely to use the same voltages ?

I thought of trying to connect them to see if they can work it the E-II......

Try eBay or a legacy PC component supplier. They have an operational life of 20,000 hours. You will need to set the ID to either 0 or 1 depending on whether it is drive 1 (upper) or drive 2 (lower). You will also need to set the RY strap to output a ready signal on pin 34. We have NOT tested this procedure.
