I'm looking for a new hard disk to upgrade my IBM AT.  The features I
want are:

-> 40 to 60 MB
-> either uses my original IBM controller card, or uses a new controller
   card that replaces my old one and drives the floppies (I don't want to
   use up another card slot.)
-> under 30 ms. access time
-> fits the standard internal AT hard drive slot
-> is a drive type that my early AT bios will recognize, or else provides
   some way to cleanly integrate it into the system
-> prefer name-brand drive, such as Seagate, Miniscribe, CDC, etc.

Can anyone suggest a good solution for a reasonable price?
Thanks.
