I'd love to add a Winchester disk, but I
understand that the early PCs

I tell which power supply I have? My Google-fu has failed me on this
query. Unfortunately it's not sitting in front of me at the moment, so
I can't read any part numbers off of it; I'll have a look later
tonight, but I recall it being a 65W power supply.
XT doubled the power supply output. And full height 5.25" hard drives
needed it. A small relatively modern drive might be able to squeak by
with the 65 W supply.
