[net.micro.pc] A second hard disk for an IBM XT

davidk@dartvax.UUCP (David C. Kovar) (01/26/84)

   I am considering buying a second hard disk for an IBM XT,
mainly due to the fact that I am planning on bringing up either
Coherent or PC/IX but I still want to have 6 meg or so for DOS.
Awhile back, one of the PC magazines reported that the IBM 10M
fixed disk was one of the best out, even though it was not all
that good in itself. Is this still the case? If not, who sells
the best 10M-20M fixed disk? How do the prices compare? Are they
completely compatible (if there is such a thing) or will PC/IX
refuse to read the second disk? Please mail replies and thanks
in advance.
