@JezC they are separate. @rubber_jonnie did make an stl for those a while back.

The 3.3v bus resistor mod is done and just got to get the oled screen and rotary encoder sorted for the gotek.

More photos later on.
Whilst on the subject of the FDD stand offs, I note that at least one in the pic is upside down, the slots are supposed to be at the bottom to click into the hole in the PCB like the originals, however I'm not sure if the holes on the H5C1 match the original PCB diameter, in which case it matters not :)

I received my H5 back from @PhilC and have got it set up :D

Am absolutely stunned and so very impressed with everything Phil has done. Now have ST 536, internal Dreamblaster midi , TOS 2.06, EMU Tos 1.2.1. Internal gotek fed out to an external display,

Playing back a MIDI file , the sound is so very impressive and warm, and adding in the ST 536 everything is so much more responsive. So happy that I'm the proud owner of a souped up H5 :D

So to @PhilC may I take this opportunity to express my thanks for taking this project on for me, patiently answering questions, offering suggestions and the sheer level of pride and care that has been put into this build.

( PS Never any need for apologies for the length of time for the build !! :D )

@gebes thank you for your kind words. I’m happy to see you’ve got it all up and running.

That Roland sound card is amazing. I’m going to get myself one when I get a mo.

I’ll be starting on our next project very soon (ATX St).

Best wishes

PhilC

That's excellent work @PhilC ! Just wondering, does the X2 midi automatically get mixed into the audio circuit? I assume so.
