???

The trays are the same ones that IDE hard drives fit into... 3 1/2&quot; wide, around 1&quot; tall.

i just call them 5.25 adapters for 3.5 floppies
they sell 5.25 adapters everywhere but the important thing is the faceplate
the faceplate has to have a slot for the floppy opening

your welcome
i was just thinking that at some point all drives will be the 3.5 size including the cd format
all floppies will be gone
along with serial ports and parallel ports
future standards will be more like usb2 or 1394
