   yes but you need an drive shell to do this
   which costs around 50 bucks
   or you can  buy an IBM options drive

I have been trying to find one of those drive shells that
will fit my ZZ0Z (It's the same shell that is used for the
770X 8MB Drive and the 770 4MB drive). Does anyone know
where I can find one? I have tried several IBM dealers and
the IBM PC parts and repair without luck.

   I do this to run linux on one drive and keep a windows filesystem
   available and mountable in the ultrabay.

This is exactly what I want to accomplish. I have the Ultra Bay adapter
already, but they were unable to supply the drive shell.


TIA for your help
