Do you need disassemby instructions, or something else? Basically any 2.5-in IDE drive up to 19mm thick (which means basically every one ever made) will work. Drive Setup formats IDE drives without regard to Apple ROMs, unlike SCSI drives.
The biggest quirk once you've got the machine open is that after '98 or so manufacturers moved the mounting holes on the drives closer to the ends so the stock mounting bracket's holes don't line up. Most people seem to use zip ties to hold the brackets on while securing the brackets to the chassis, then compression holds the drive securely enough. You can find older drives up to 3GB which have the holes in the right place, if that's big enough. MCE fabricated replacement brackets, but I don't know if they're still available or if they sell them without a drive replacement.
