In our lab we have one of the early 6 MHz IBM AT's. Although the 
20 Meg original HD is still working (yes it was one of those that
was supposed to die - CMI? - I believe).  We need more disk space,
somewhere between 40-70 MB. What do we need to do? I've heard that
the ROM's in this machine have only a limited number of disk sizes
and types. Should we spring for a new controller at the same time?
Any recommendations about sturdy HD's in this range suitable for
frequent usage? Any help would be appreciated.
