Stumbled on this awesome photo in the August 1986 MacWorld, p. 57. It seems like such an obviously nifty idea back then (if perhaps useless and silly) — I had an unenhanced 512k with external floppy and would loved to have gotten it mounted like this with added fan (and a dust filter??). Curious if anyone has or has seen one of these guys. A google search reveals a few mentions on various forums in the past, but I couldn’t find an actual modern photo anywhere.

That is funky! Yeah, I'd be curious to know how many install orders they actually got or if there was a "Apple will void their warranty, but we'll spot you" kind of situation.

I just listened to RetroMacCast #333 (7/13/2014), they referenced this mod based on an ad in an old A+ issue and at that time James and John said they’d never seen one in person. I wonder if they’ve seen one since? @RetroMacCast
