If you can find them, some old 720k (DD) 3.5" drives from PCs will work. I 
managed to find a pair of Citizen drives in an old laptop, which worked 
perfectly with my BBC Master. I removed the 5.25" drives from a dual-drive 
enclosure and fitted the 3.5" drives in their place using standard converter 
brackets and cable adaptors. The holes in the brackets didn't line up for some 
inexplicable reason, so I had to drill some new holes as well, but they work 
great, and it looks really professional, even though I do say so myself :-)
