3.5"? That's a "standard" off-the-shelf IDE disk, isn't it? 2.5" is
a standard off-the-shelf laptop IDE drive. 1.8" drives are also
available. And the Kittyhawk is a tiny drive mounted sizeways on
the circuit board, so you get a standard 2.5"-style IDE connector
(I think) in a very short package.

Are you looking for drives that are still produced in quantity? If not,
the Kittyhawk 20MB drive would be a good one to get (at the website
mentioned previously).
