I have two 60 meg hard disks on my PC/AT, one for DOS, the other running SCO
XENIX, and need more space for XENIX.  Since I'm completely max'd out with
the built-in controller, are there any external drive subsystems which use
a separate controller and allow for a variety of disk sizes?  I don't care
too much about the technology: SCSI or SMD, it doesn't matter, as long as
it isn't too expensive.  Device driver support for XENIX is an absolute
requirement.  Please reply by mail; I'll summarize if I receive any positive
pointers.
