There's a HTC426040G9AT00 for 99 euro at www.alternate.nl.  Although the
model number indicates that it is the correct drive (but only 40 GB
instead of 60 GB), the website says that it has a ZIF connector.
I suppose it's a mistake on the website.

I'm willing to get the drive and send it to you, if you can live with
the reduced capacity.  It would be nice if someone can step in to share
the cost.
