    1.8" PATA ZIF but it still requires some effort to fit (there are guides online, like tnkgrl's) and some require a different ribbon cable. There are some cheap 20GB Hitachi drives on eBay ($12 and up but they require a flipped ribbon cable ubless you modify the original). I'm doing this myself and I have three cables on the way to The States (hard to buy just one), so LMK if you need one.
