I have a 286 12Mhz that (although it's outdated by most standards) still
works fine for me.  Since I only have a 70 Meg HD now, I plan on adding
another in the available half-height slot.  My existing HD has a 28 ms
access time and is RLL (ugh!) interfaced.  So far my choices seem to be:

	Seagate ST277R-1  RLL 28ms 5.25" HH    60 Meg         approx. $219
	Microsci HH1120    "   "    "    "    120 Meg            "    $390

I've heard good reports about Seagate but not much (pro or con) about
Micro Science.

Can anyone offer me either past experience with either of these two
drives or perhaps point me to any other possibilities I might have
overlooked (yes - I use 'pklite' and might soon implement 'stacker'
but I'd still like to add more physical disk space anyway to bring the hardware
up to "reasonable")

Thanks for any advice (direct E'mail OK since this is probably not
among the most common issues for general discussion).
