Actually I didn't use any mounting brackets! I used two thin strips of rubber about 1/2in wide under each side of the drive to give a little air circulation underneath and then using my trusty hotmelt glue gun I carefully glued the drive to the frame in 4 or 5 places. >Was it as easy as following the web-based dissassembly >instructions and simply replacing the old with the new(er)? > >Ken, did you find a slightly more responsive Duo, >in application use, and possibly VM use, >or was it mainly in startup speed? I'm afraid I can't give any kind of a comparison with an old drive because I have assembled this Duo from a collection of parts! The machine seems fairly quick running OS 8.6 with 28MB of Ram (though not as fast as my 280c/40MB OS8.1).
