     According to Scott G., the general idea of swapping in a bigger
2.5" IDE drive on a Focus Hard Card works fine. Alltech magazine ads
list several decent size 2.5" IDE hard drive modules at good prices.

     The one possible glitch is with using the 20MB card. As I recall,
there is something different about the way the 20MB card mounts the
drive module which could make for a difficult fit. (Maybe it's mounted
on top instead of behind the card-- not sure.)  When you call Alltech to
order the Focus, ask to speak to Tony Diaz. He should know whether the
20MB Focus is okay for upgrading or if you need to get a different model
of Focus.
