I have just returned from two weeks solace in the West Highlands and Islands
of Scotland to be faced be mounds of mail on silent reading greeks. What
I can't understand is how they could ever have got in a library, let
alone an archive, as a clutch of loudly reading greeks must be much worse than
a silently tip-tapping toshiba - or were librarians and archivists
simply more tolerant in those olden days ?

Charles Ess' desire for a 3.5 inch drive in his Zenith is understandable.
However, the first question to ask is whether the Zenith's drive controller
card supports the 3.5 inch drives. The power supply connector is not a
problem. Most computer stores sell "splitters"--power supply connector
wires that split a single power connector into two connectors. These go
for $1 to $5.
The most important part is the controller card. If it supports the 3.5 inch
drive, then Charles should have no trouble installing a 720K drive. He may
or may not be able to install a 1.44M drive. Also, the version of DOS
should be 3.3 or better (you can set up the drive format in CONFIG.SYS to
support the 1.44M drives if your controller card can handle it).
What kind of room is inside the Zenith 158? Can the hard disk be put in
an unexposed drive bay? Is there anywhere else to put the hard disk to open
up the second floppy drive bay?
Charles is correct in his assumption that the external drive is the most
expensive solution. It may not be the neatest, nor the most convenient.
If Charles can provide the answers to the above questions, I'll be able to
provide more accurate and helpful information.

The heart of the Empress Zita, who just died, was buried apart from her
body. I believe the Wittelsbachs buried their hearts at Altoetting.
