    The SH204 case will hold a 5.25" half-height hard drive, a type which
is readily available from any manufacturer that makes hard drives.  The
drive must support MFM encoding and the ST512 interface.  You can use
a 3.5" hard drive in the SH204, but you must use brackets to expand the
form-factor to that of a 5.25" drive; my SH204 had a Tandon TM263 3.5"
drive mechanism, which was in a framework that fitted the drive into
the 5.25" slot provided.  Also, check the power supply in your SH204;
I found a 40W supply in mine, which seems to be sufficient to power a
Seagate ST251-1, the Adaptec 4000A SCSI controller, and ASCI-SCSI adapter.
Anything below that wattage is not guaranteed to do the same . . .
