Four years ago I bought a Zenith 180.  This is a laptop with two floppy drives
but no hard drive.  It has a hard disk port.  At the time, Zenith was selling
an external hard drive for this port, but I didn't have the cash.  In their
literature, Zenith said that this port would work with "any regular
hard-drive."  My question is what kind of port is this?  I gather that there
are many different kinds of interfaces (SCSI, ESDI, etc.).  Does anyone know
what kind this is?  And do you have any suggestions about how I could get a
hard drive working with my Z-180?

Thanks very much.
