   It's a bastardized IDE card that only supports the same types and
sizes of HD that they were originally shipped with. You could open the
power supply up and replace the HD, but you'd have to replace the card
also if you can't exactly match the HD replacement. There are some
replacement IDE cards that can take almost any IDE HD, as listed in
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 10 for vendors,
or you could replace it with a SCSI HD and build cables to go to a
SCSI card, which the Pegasus internal HD previously did.
