Robert,
>>It'll need to be a 2.5" one with fine pitch ribbon cable<<

Is this the sort of thing you'd find in a laptop PC?

Anyone have any ideas on the maximum size drive that may be fitted?

I have an 80Mb HD in an Amiga 1200 that might work :))

Thanks,
Dan

It'll need to be a 2.5" one with fine pitch ribbon cable,if I remember
rightly from when I dismantled an A3010 with HDD mini podule.
