You'll need a Western Digital WX-1 or similar to throw in there. The Colt
has an 8-bit IDE port (there were a few 20Mb and 40Mb drives to that
standard - look for "X" at the end of the Seagate/Western Digital part number
(as opposed to A for IDE or S or N for SCSI))
If you _have_ an 80-bit MFM controller, it's probably easier to find an MFM
drive. I don't recall if there's room for a 5.25" hard disk in the box if
you have two floppies - the XT-IDE drives are all 3.5"
After getting through all of _that_, it'll be a decent little XT for you.
I think it's <CNTL><ALT>T for Turbo mode and <CNTL><ALT>S for regular (slow)
mode. The machine will beep at different frequencies, using a CPU delay loop,
to indicate which speed it's at.
Enjoy,
