are there hard drives for laptops that are smaller than the 2.5"
drives? I have a laptop that takes an IDE hdd, but the space is about
3/4 of an inch to small to even fit a 2.5" drive. I vaguely recall
seeing something about 1.8" drives? Am I hallucinating here or does such
a creature exist?

Yes.

I have never seen a 1.8" drive that wasn't embedded in a PCMCIA card. I
do have several 1.3" "Kitty Hawk" drives - 44=pin high-density IDE plug,
20Mb, but they did make a 40Mb version. My Kitty Hawk is currently attached
to a C-64.

I have. Alltech electronics sells them loose or as part of their focus hard
card for apple2. Looks like the platter(s) must be about the size of a quarter.

1.3" kitty hawk/hawkeye? ok- i'll take a look... this laptop has 2 type
II slots, no room for a type III drive because the slots are on separate
sides. While proprietary system designs can be interesting, finding
parts for them isn't. Thanks for the info guys!
