[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] Model 50 hard drive

tlongrie@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Terry G Longrie) (08/10/90)

	I have a PS2 model 50 with a 20 meg hard drive and would like to
upgrade to at least a 40 meg or bigger drive.  I don't know, however, what
type of drive was initially installed by IBM.  Is it ESDI, RLL, or something
else?  Also, how easy is it to connect to IBM's strange edge card connector
inside the machine?  Do I have to make special cables or anything?

	My other idea was to get a 20 megabyte hard-card an thus have a 
total of 40 megabytes of storage.  Where would I be able to find a MCA
compatible hard-card and how much should I expect to pay for one?

	b.t.w-  It's just a Model 50 not a 50Z or anything else.

				Thanks
