[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] harddrives for PS/2 P70 ?

zahn@mira.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de (Corvin Zahn) (05/05/91)

I want to replace the builtin 60MB-(ESDI)-drive with a non-IBM (too expensive)
drive with higher capacity (120-200MB). Any experiences ?
Has anyone tried the Seagate ST 1201E (177MB) ?

Thanks, Corvin

I've been running a CMS 120meg replacement drive on my mod70 for several months
and it has performed flawlessly!  The price was about $1000US.

Now, for "home" (cheap) I'm trying a used mod 70 120meg in a 50z that I ordered
from a used hardware dealer in Miami,  --- price $350US!
