What mounting bracket kits do you offer?

1. The "WS-MOD-1" mounting bracket kit is for mounting a 2.5" HD and has room for a adaptor to 40 pin IDE, and up to 1.25" (32mm) thick drive. Works with both types of 2.5" drive mounts (screw spacing). Use with a standard ISA slot IDE card.

2. The "Technical WS-MOD-2" is a VERY TECHNICAL KIT for mounting a 3.5" HD, up to 1.25" (32mm) thick drive. You MUST have surface mount soldering skills for this kit ! Resistors and parts are included, see below.

See the MS-MOD Technical Frequently Asked Questions Page for more info.

Both kits: No drilling or cutting at all!


What's the Price and Shipping charges?

Either kit is $18.00 each (+S&H). Please specify which kit when ordering.

Thanks for ordering and supporting this website and future hacks!


What do I get?

Here's what you get:

• Custom fit metal mounting bracket.
  
• All mounting hardware needed. (standoffs, longer screws etc...)
  
• You will also get surface mount resistors, enough header pins
  to enable IDE, +5V drive pwr and COM1 serial, plus the serial port IC!
  
• Complete installation instructions.
  

Note: You do not need to install the resistors, headers or IC to use the (2.5") WS-MOD-1 Kit! You can use a ISA slot IDE controller. The parts are included so you have the option at a later date.

Cables, cable adaptors or power cable are NOT included. See the Technical FAQ on how to get power to a drive and where to buy cables.


How long will it take to get one?

Orders are filled as soon as possible, this is typically within a day. WebSurfer kits are in stock. Please be patient, we can't control what the postal service does, thank you.

Can anyone install a kit?

The WS-MOD-1 kit is the easiest to install. No drilling or cutting at all! You should have prior experience in installing hard drives and computer upgrades in general.

The Technical WS-MOD-2 kit is very technical. It requires the installation of surface mount resistors on the motherboard because it takes all the space where the ISA/PCI slot was. Still no drilling or cutting at all! See the FAQ for more info.

This is a "technical" project, and there is always a chance you can "fry" your WebSurfer. We can not be held responsible if you fry your WebSurfer!
