The easiest way is to find a power splitter which will conenct to the
3.5" HDD, the floppy power on the mobo and the FDD. I know you can get
splitters that connect between HDD and FDD (you get them inside PC
towers frequesntly), but I'm not sure how easy/difficult it would be
to find one pre-made with the other end ready for connecting to the
floppy power on the mobo.
Either that, or I think the other way is to somehow connect the 3.5HDD
directly to the square PSU connector - so that the power for the
3.5HDD doesn't need to go through the mobo at all (this is effectively
what the Goliath/whatever is I think, cos it has HDD power connectors
coming out of it - or one of them uprated PSUs does anyway).
