I have a 1400c that needs a new HD (or CF card solution).
An appropriate and affordable solution is a PCMCIA to SDHC Adaptor and an SD-Card with a storage capacity of 4 GB (common, cheap size; more would violate the 4 GB-limit with regard to SCSI target mode). Consider to search the board and our Wiki for addtional information.
I lost 3/4 of my computer equipment in a flood last November
Some equipment might not be damaged beyond hope, yet. Once I had to reanimate a drowned LC475. I only removed the battery, dismantled the computer, washed it thoroughly with clean water and dryed the poor thing leaving it in an airtight bag of dry silica gel for a week. The only thing that needed special treatment was the harddisk drive, which gurgled of water trapped inside the casing. This was accomplished by removing the upper shell, rinsing with plenty of deionized water and carefully drying it inside a bag of dry silica gel, as well. After reassembly the machine worked, only the harddisk died after a few weeks of operation. That was long enough for a complete data recovery
