	Some months ago, I glanced at the options available from a
particular computer manufacturer, and they included:

	20,40,70, and 150 MB 1/2 Height MFM drives, and
	300 and 600 MB full height ESDI drives.
	(with purchase of a system, naturally!)

	Now that I'm thinking about upgrading my hard drive (actually,
adding a second one) that 150 MB half-height to fit in my one remaining
half height bay looks pretty good.  
	
	In looking through PC Magazine (and others), it seems that the
largest half heights are only 60MB, and the largest MFM drive is the
Seagate 80MB, which is full height, not half-height.

	Is there anybody who knows differently? who has or knows where to
buy a large capacity half-height MFM drive.
