[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Upgrade the hard disk in model 50

Does anyone know how you can upgrade the hard disk in PS2 model 50. I
am considering two options: 1) Replace the old 20 M drive . 2) Buy a
new controller, plug into the empty slot and buy an external drive.
Price and dealer infomation are appreciated.

Two words: BE CAREFUL! You can't put just nay old drive into a PS/2 --
it's that proprietary bus that makes for problems, plus size.
I have a friend who purchased a PLUS 80-meg hard card, only to discover
that t wouldn't fit in a model 50 case! He ended up trading it for
a PLus Passport (External) drive. Big bucks, but fast.
   Give the folks are Hard Drives Int'l in Arizona a call. You'll find
their ads in PC Mag, etc.
