[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Need Hard Disk Help w/Old Compaq 386 Deskpro

marcs@crpmks.UUCP (Marc Snyder) (03/15/91)

Greetings all,
	I was wondering if someone out there would be able to offer some
advice.  I have an old (~4 year old) Compaq Deskpro model 120 running SCO
Xenix.  I need to upgrade the disk to something between 330 and 660MB.  I
priced a 330MB drive from Compaq, and then want $5000!!!  I told them
that they were out of their minds, and am going to look elsewhere.  I
would like to replace the hard disk and controller with a new hard disk
and controller, preferably ESDI.  Could someone out there let me know if
they've done something similar, and let me know what you did, and how you
made out.  I have concerns about using the Compaq setup disks to get the
pc to recognize the new disk drive, and controller.  Any Compaq gurus out
there?  Thanks in advance.
