A friend picked up an Amstrad (Modem 1510 -- I think) and would like to add 
a hard disk to this compact (2 floppy, 8mhz 8086, cga) machine.

I know nothing about the power supply, number of slots or motherboard 
construction.  

I have three questions to ask before I put on my CE hat and go exploring
inside it...
1 - Can a standard WD1002-WX1 card fit in the thing
2 - Will the machine have enough power to drive a hard disk 
    (I've got a 3 1/2 inch Rodime 352 laying around)
3 - Anyone have a location for Amstrad.  She got the machine as a demo from
    a store without docs or DOS.  There's a real-time clock inside with the
    wrong time and I haven't got the software to set it.
