I have a couple of 'em kicking around someplace...never got one hooked up
because I didn't have a suitable adapter at the time (looks similar to the
44-pin connector used for 2.5" hard drives, but is probably even smaller IIRC).
 The bigger stumbling block is that I think they (at least the ones I bought)
are XT-IDE (8-bit bus), not the much more common 16-bit variety.  If I'm not
mistaken, XT-IDE drives won't work on standard IDE controllers.

(OTOH, you could have a different model of Kittyhawk that is IDE instead of
XT-IDE.)
