FW: Hard disk replacement

Alright I'll get a large 2.5" (my Windy has the Frog case)

BTW, do you need help with the netwinder.org site? The links are in bad
shape (FAQ, mailing list archive and stuff).

My power supply is the default Hitron that came with the unit. Is that
enough?

Is there two controller slots or do I need to use a dual drive IDE cable in
it?

Nifty! Hopefully my power supply is powerful enough!

Thanks for the help!
