Hi all,

I've got a Dell 333P which sat in an attic for a few years after having it's floppy drive removed and a few bits taken out. I've put it back together but I've just realised I seem to be missing a bracket for mounting the floppy drive? When I last reinstalled the floppy drive, I noticed it was only possible to screw it in from one of the sides, not both, meaning it can sag slightly on the unsupported side. I just bundled up some strips of cardboard and wedged them in the side and forgot about it.

I have the machine apart again and noticed there's two screw holes on the front of the case, just under the floppy drive, so I'm assuming there's a proper bracket I'm missing.

I was wondering if anyone who had this case:

Would be so kind as to pop the cover and check this for me? If I could get a picture of the bracket it might help me locate mine as it could be ANYWHERE in the house and I've no idea what it looks like. It might jog my memory to see it.

I'd really appreciate if someone could help! 😀
