ESDI disk

Does anyone remember ESDI ? My DOS system has a full-hight 140MB disk, and
I want to get a little more capacity.

Unfortunatly, I only have a half-hight slot free, and the current drive
and controller are ESDI.

Does anyone have an old HH ESDI disk that they would be interested in selling,
perhaps someone who has upgraded to IDE or SCSI ? I'm only looking for
something about 60MB or so.

I do have an RLL controller and 60MB disk, however it dosn't appear that I can
get both of them running (can disable floppy, change I/O address, etc., but
both cards seem to want the same IRQ (14?)). If anyone knows how to get an
RLL and ESDI disk running in the same system at the same time, please let me
know.

Regards,

Dave.
