Shouldn't that read:

MX2 = 2 line LCD in a single 5 1/4" HALF HEIGHT drive bay

MX3 = 2 line VFD in a single 5 1/4" HALF HEIGHT drive bay

MX4 = 4 line LCD in a single 5 1/4" FULL HEIGHT drive bay

MX5 = 4 line VFD in a single 5 1/4" FULL HEIGHT drive bay

I mean, the MX4 & MX5 bay inserts are are twice as tall as the MX3 & MX3, so it doesnt seem right to use the identical "single drive bay" phrase to describe them

I wouldnt expect such an oversight from my hero, the omniscient Henry

So when are you guys gonna come out with a 4-line in a single half height bay is that the MX6

? Any news on a LCD that will fit in a 3 1/4 floppy bay for us SFF guys?

Unfortunately there won't be any displays that will be for 3.25" bays anytime soon.

As for the MX6...

Cant wait for the MX6 . . . I am sure it will be cool
