I printed off some of these drive rails to use in (what I think is) my IBM 5170 clone.
If I attach these to drives and insert the drives into the rightmost drive bay, it fits perfectly. If I try and put that same drive into the center bay, they won't go in. Take a look at the two pictures below. There is clearly a different rail system for the center drive bay but I have no idea what to look for. I can't put my HDD and CD-ROM in the rightmost drive bay because the IDE cable is not long enough. I'd rather not have to find some hacky solution to this and I'd rather keep the HDD and CD-ROM in the center bay but I also don't want them loose in there.
Can anyone help me on what to do here? Also, there are some stand offs that screw into the case (you can see a gold-ish one in the second picture) and then you attach these things to the stand offs so that your drive does not come out of the bay. I need to buy several of these. What are they called and what size are they?
