I have a PS/2 model 70E61 with a 60meg IBM ESDI drive.  How can we upgrade
to another 3 1/2" hard disk other than the pricey IBM models?  Is a ROM 
upgrade needed?  The ESDI interface connector is different than the Maxtor
4380E models I am used to, is it unique to the PS/2?

My knowledge of the PS/2 line is limited.  I have been fooling with "normal"
IBM PC's and clones for years, adding hard disks, et. al., but have no idea
what to do with this Mod 70.

Thanks.
