[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Which Hard Drive?

derek@sun4dts.dts.ine.philips.nl (derek) (05/29/91)

I currently have a 40MB Seagate HD. I'm squeezed for space, and have an
external 10MB SCSI-based servo-written Konica 5.25" floppy DD for over-
flow. I've got 5 of these 10MB disks. That's 90MB or there abouts.

My main interest is programming, but I have some space guzzlers like
Ventura, Windows3, Desqview, TP6 and object professional, and a lot 
of shareware as a library. 

At some point I might want to run a BBS.

Since the computer is currently FULL, I cann't add anything, I shall
have to exchange my 40MB HD and buy a new HD (and presumably a new
controller board). Hanging on the current one are a 5.25" HDD, and a
3.5" HDD.

I don't really understand these IDE EDSI SCSI questions, and I really
don't want to pay HUGE amounts of cash for the new setup. 

So, bearing all that in mind, what would be your recommendations, and 
what sort of price, and problems can I expect?
