Good move!  You'll thank yourself for it many times over!

> Q1.     Can anyone suggest a cheap place for such an upgrade ?

Can't help you here.  Try your local users' group.  They can probably
give you some pointers.

> Q2.	Will my HD20  be still usable ? 

Sure, no problem.  Just plug it into the external floppy port, same as
before.

> Q3.	Can the hard-disk HD20 (not SCSI) also be upgraded to (SCSI) ?

Nope, so sorry, but keep it around to augment the SCSI drive you end up
buying.  I've got an XP40 and my old HD20 hooked up to my MAChine.  The
HD20 makes an excellent backup device, if nothing else, especially if
you get a 20M SCSI drive.
