Installing IDE Hard Disks in XEN-S
Early XEN-S machines were shipped with either 30MB MiniScribe or 47MB
Seagate hard disk drives. As the quantity of these drives available for replacement has
diminished over time, information is provided here to allow a 50MB or 100MB IDE drive to
be fitted to those machines.
