> How easy is it to fit an IDE drive.

I have an A5000 and did (just) manage to fit a 2nd drive to it. The unit was a
210M Quantum, and it was a very tight squeeze. I'm not entirely sure what acorns
position on this matter is but I have not encountered any major problems.

Installing the actual drive unit is fairly simple, just screw it to the base of
the A5000 through the holes provided, they do align as long as you put the front
of the drive towards the front of the case. I would advise you figure out how you
intend to route the cables before hand. All you really need are a power cable
splitter and a ribbon cable able to take two IDE drives, and some fixing screws
and washers for the drive.

Though it is not *very* difficult to fit the second HD it is not all that easy,
some fairly forceful pushing and pulling is required.  

Hope the above is useful.
