we've managed to rework the Mark 2 case to fit 25Gb Travelstar drives

These new IBM drives are 17.0 mm high, I understand, which is just a few mm taller than the 15mm that Mark1 is suppose to accept and only 4.5mm taller than the 12.5 mm Toshiba disks that fit easily.

I don't want to open up the machine just to check, but it would seem that Emma could also hold these new IBM disks if one were to drill new holes for the disk platter, just some 3-4 mm below the ones that hold the platter now. Not that I want to do so right now, but just in case I get bored with 425 hrs of tunes . . . .

Right? Or is anything else involved?
