[comp.sys.ibm.pc] PS 2 Model 60 Additional Disk Drives

I have a PS 2/Model 60 with one 40 Meg drive.  I would like to add an
additional drive.  The manual for the PS 2 indicates this is easy, if
you have an IBM drive.  As far as I know, these are standard MFM
drives, but the power and data/control cables don't resemble the
standard XT/AT.  I know about the kits for the the Model 50, but I have
not seen any advertisements for other PS 2 hard drives.

Is there something special about PS 2 hard drives or will normal MFM
drives work.

Do any third party vendors sell hard disk kits (disk + cables +
hardware + documentation) for the PS 2/ Model 60?

Has anyone installed an "AT" drive in a Model 60?  (By AT, I mean a bare
MFM drive.)  If so, where did you get the cables?  Were there nuts and
bolts and screws type problems?

I will gladly summarize responses to the net, so email if you can.

Thanks - Mark (davis@cs.unc.edu or decvax!mcnc!davis)
