A good friend has an early AT&T PC6300 (XT-clone) and wants to finally
join the real world and add a hard drive.  The problem is that everyone
he calls (mail order places) won't guarantee that an add-on drive/adapter
will work.  I know I used such a machine with a hard drive in school, but
don't remember anything about incompatibility problems.  Can anyone
enlighten me about problems and controllers/disks that will work.  Give it
to me techincal-I can translate for my MBA friend.
