Most people just buy flowers...

Anyways, there should still be conversion leads around for installing a 3.5"
drive in a bog-standard 1200. I've got one here, though I never use it. At
worst, you could just build a DIY job using a couple of ends of a floppy
connector, one end of a standard 3.5" hard drive connector, and a 4-way
chocolate-block connector.

Matthew.
