Subject: HELP with old ZWL-183-93 laptop
Organization: Eastman Kodak

	I have a few questions regarding an older zenith laptop
	(ZWL-183-93). 

	My 3.5" hard-drive is dead. does anyone know where 
	I can get another one (for free)?

	If I can't get another HD, I do have a second 3.5"
	floppy drive. (2 floppy drives are better than one
	floppy and one dead HD) 
	I have opened the laptop up, I can see where the floppy
	drive is plugged in, but it dosent look like there is 
	a second cable connection (plug) to install a second
	floppy instead of the hard disk. 
	Is it possible to install a second floppy instead of
	hard drive in the ZWL-183-93?

	When I turn the ZWL-183-93 on the low battery light 
	comes on and it `beeps` periodically. This happens
	even when the AC adapter is plugged in. I even let
	the AC adapter juice the battery pack over night. In
	the morning the same thing happens even though the 
	system can run off the battery for quite some time.
	Is something broken?
