  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

EDIT: Great minds....
This is 12", so a little longer than you wanted, but I was looking for the same thing today (not for the same purpose, however).

I have a better option. Just mod the hard drive adapter, and move the IDE port over. Thats what I do. tools needed

Dremel
tin snips
screw driver set
zip ties
hot glue

Or just get a hard drive that fits directly onto the network adapter without modifications.  Pretty much anything OTHER THAN Western Digital seems to work.  Seagate/Maxtor (now the same company, but they are keeping the brands separate) are pretty much guaranteed to fit.

I did mine as well, but I just busted it all to hell until it fit. Those were the PRE-BYOAC days...before I thought things through better....

I'm using a WD in mine, just with the network adapter modded to fit it.
