Hmm.  Is it just missing some sort of proprietary rails as are used in
the 5.25 bays which _are_ occupied, or could it be missing some sort of
5.25" cage which fits into an oversized open space?  I may be able to
help from the saved rails and junque drive cages where I volunteer.

BIR, you have posted that this machine is a P180?  AFAIK, the P5
and MMX Pentium chips jumped from 166 to 200 MHz. So could it be - -

an overclocked P166?
an underclocked P200?, or
a Pentium Pro 180?   (Socket 8)
