I have a VENDEX Headstart-III (AT Clone) which comes with a 32MB 28ms MFM drive. I have used all (3) of the expansion ports and wish to increase my hard disk capacity. I noticed that the controller card for the Hard disk has an empty connector which leaves me with the following questions: 1) Does anyone know if the connector is for a second hard drive? If it is, the drive would have to be mounted outside of the box as the Headstart box has no additional room. 2) Has anyone replaced the 32MB half height drive with a larger capacisy MFM half height drive (I have seen 80MB units) or would there be power supply problems with the larger drive ? 3) Assuming someone has done this, is there any additional software needed to support the expanded configuration ? Sorry to be a PC illiterate, but I need to have something I don't know }8-)} Early thanks for your help, Bill
