I just got my 6300 which has a 10MB hard disk built-in. I am considering alternatives to add a second 10MB hard disk. You can buy an expansion unit with 10MB from att-is at $2250. I would like to know whether you can add an IBM XT expansion unit with 10MB to the 6300 and work as well. Also, if I use other brand such as a Shugard drive, would it need another controller board? Are any vendors selling a drive with controller that would work for my case? I really appreicate if any one is thinking/doing the same, or knows about this to give me some advice. M. M.

I purchased a 10mb hard disk for my AT&T 6300 from IDE Associates, Billerica, MA. It works great, their support is excellent, and the price is right. They also include some disk caching software. Call 'em @ (800) 257-5027. They alos have some kind of trade in policy; If you wish to upgrade within one year, you get a full allowance for the what you pain, minus a small fee. Cheers! Howard G.
