Hi.
I tried to post this a week or two ago, but I don't think it made it. If
this is repitious, please forgive me. Thanx.

I have a standard compaq plus. The internal 10 meg hard disk ceased to be
sufficient about a year ago, and I've reached the point where I really want
to do something about it. The two options I've considered are
a) replace the internal 10 meg with an internal 20 meg.
The questions I have about this concern the power supply. I've already
had to replace the original, and I understand that this is a fairly
common problem on the compaq plus. So I'm wondering if the current
powersupply will be sufficient for a 20 (or 30, for that matter) meg
disk, particularly one with decent access time.
b) adding a secondary external disk, which can be disconnected and left
behind when the compaq goes traveling.
Anybody have any suggestions or comments?
