My sister has just gotten a zenith 248 with _no_ literature.  She
wants me to put a 20 meg hard drive in the thing, (it has only 2 360k
drives) but since i don't know much about the machine's innards, i am
leery of doing something rash, like just buying a mail-order 20meg MFM
drive and hooking it up to the existing controller.

Does anybody out there know anything about this machine?  Can i do
what i just said, and not worry about things like software, jumpers,
dips, etc.?


thanks.
