[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] Extra hard drive for 55sx?

prpst2@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Paul R Perdeus) (06/30/91)

Hello all!
	I have a S  PS2 55sx and i was wondering if anyone could tell me
my options/limitations concerining a bigger hard drive.  I think i have
seen hard drives that can use a serial port - is this true? Also would
these drives be any slower than one that is installed internally? I was
also wondering if it would be possible to install an internal h.d. in a
55sx - I have seen ads for h.s's (sorry i mean h.d's - backspace won't
work)that are descrived as being '5 1/4' or 3 1/2' " size. I am assuming
(and i'll be the first to admit that i am by no means an expert on this
stuff) that this means you can install it in a space in you r CPU that
is normally used for installing another disk drive (i.e. 3 1/2 or 5
1/4/). It doesn't seem that there is any room for this on my 55sx.  Any
and all responses are greatfully appreciated.
					Thank You,
