Brendan, didn't understand that you were looking at swapping out the 3in for a
3.5in.  It can be done, but not easily.  As you noted the connectors are a 
bit different.  With the schematics and a bit of adventure, you could do it --
But I am not sure which controller you would use or how the controller would
handle the different diskette.  If I understand my computer gurus right,
the formatting is different from IBMland, and if what I read on this net
is right, even within CP/M things are less than standard.

BTW, I did check out the 3.5in diskette conversion originally, and opted to buy
the B drive, with the Amstrad floppies instead.
