I seem to be about to become the proud owner of a genuine IBM model something
(model 5155, the person who's giving it to me thinks) "portable" computer.
However, my OS will not run from 2 floppy drives, so, when the IRS sends me
my "don't complain about your taxes for another year" check, I'm going to blow
some of it on a hard drive.  (By the time they send me the return, I'll have
figured out how to get the thing apart, and figured out where I can stick a
hard drive... I hope. :)

I would prefer a 10mb hard drive, although I'll settle for 20mb.  Speed and
interleave and interface don't matter, but it has to be something that'll work
with an original-PC type machine.  8-bit interface, and all that.

I'd like to pick up the drive and card for $50 or less, since I'm on a
shoestring budget, but I could go up to $60, maybe.

It would have to be shipped C.O.D. and I'm in NJ so the closer you are to NJ,
the better.  If you're in southern NJ or Philly, I can come get it in person.

So, if you've got an ancient-but-functional drive taking up precious closet
space, just yell.
