This step is also optional, as it's perfectly acceptable to have an external power supply. I've got quite a selection of power supplies that I've collected over the years from outdated gear (i.e., cordless phones) and just happened to have a relatively flat one that fit in this case.

Since the power supply had the power prongs sticking out of the back of it, I first had to remove them by desoldering, then replaced the prongs with a power cord. If you're lucky, your power supply will already have a cord!

After some playing around, I found a nice spot for the power supply that required only minimal modification to the floppy drive's internal frame.
