I am interested in ordering a new hard drive for my IBM PC-AT.  This AT has a 
1984 BIOS, in case that is relevant.  I currently have the 20 Meg Drive and 
diskcontroller that was originally sold with the AT.

I am considering purchasing a 71 Meg Half-Height Miniscribe Drive with 28 msec 
access time.  I have a few questions:

	1.  Will this drive work in my machine?
	2.  Do I need a new BIOS for SETUP?
	3.  Do I need a new Controller?
	4.  Any other suggestions for a High Capacity Performance Drive?
	
Thanks,

Brian
