[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] IBM PS2 50z HD upgrade

I have a PS2 Model 50z which is now a little over a year old.
I made the mistake of purchasing it with a 30 mb drive because I didn't
think I would ever get into the windows game.
Now I have an Above Board with 2 megs and run windows programs which seem
to eat up a lot of space on the old drive.  I have already compressed,
archived, etc. everything and I need a bigger drive plain and simple!

My question is whether there are some third party drives available for my
machine.  The 50z uses an edge connector design that seems to be special to
the 50z.  I would be curious to hear from any other users who have upgraded
their drives.  I am looking for around 60-80 megs.  If I could add another
drive somehow through the one slot I have left I would like to do that and
me able to run 2 hds...But I have not seen any MC drive controllers.

Thanks!
