Can anyone recomment a good (cheap) 70+MB hard disk for my
Compaq 286 Portable (the original, not the Compaq Portable II).
Presumably the gating items are the size (looks like a half-height in
an almost full-height bay) and BIOS support.
[email to me; I'll forward it]

You can burn an entry in the BIOS drive parameter table to support nearly any drive.
