I'm looking for some advice on adding a large hard disk to
either a 6mhz or 8mhz PC-AT.  I would consider anything in
the 80mb-and-up range, and am naturally interested in getting
the best value possible.  Important considerations are access
time (under 40 ms), partition restrictions, and any sideaffects
I should expect from the custom software that overcomes the
limitation of the PCDOS 16 bit sector counter.

I have reasonably good 30mb internal drives already installed
in these AT's (Seagate and Core), but would be willing to replace 
them or supplement them with an internal or external drive.

Does anyone have very good experiences with a particular product?
I'd greatly appreciate information on cost, availability, the
completeness of the package (does it come with the necessary
software, the required controller, etc?), and your experience
with the drive.

Please mail replies.  If there's enough interest I will post
a summary.  Thanks.
