I am looking for a cheap way to upgrade the hard disk in a Model 50. I do know about the IBM solution but it is very expensive. I was wondering if anyone has been able to upgrade the 20 meg hard disk to a 40 or 80 meg internally? Does anyone know of a HardCard that will work in the MicroChannel? Is there any way to use the second floppy bay for the hard disk and keep the original hard disk? Any ideas on how to do this would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

We have used Core International's OPTIMA drives for this purpose, and have been very pleased. They make 44 and 80MB versions (possibly more) and sell a kit which allows you to keep the original drive. Sales office for your area is probably in Stamford, CT (203) 357-1339. -- "Hocakes are back, but that don't matter, | Mark A.
