If You indeed have an IDE cable - then break out the Champaign as you
can use a low priced PC notebook HDD rather than trying to find a
scarce and pricey SCSI notebook drive, I have heard of people having
good results with 10-30GB IBM drives, and I have also seen Toshiba
drives used.
Good luck.
Ben.
