i have a sh204 (atari 20 MB) which i'd like to stuff a larger capacity
drive mech in. the particulars are:

drive mech model:		Tandon TM 262
controller ROM:			Atari C070736, YL-86-03
host adapter:			Atari 6026266 Rev. C
power supply:			DELTA DPS-40BP Rev. 63

could someone recommend a 40-60 MB drive mechanism i could just plug
in? i prefer not to switch controllers/host adapters if possible. if
there are any electrical changes (jumpers, cable mods, etc) please let
me know. will the power supply handle the new drive? i really want to
just plug-and-play. reliability is highest criterion. seagate would
be preferable, though others are ok if rugged (i have had good luck
with st225's in PC's, even checking a portable thru baggage!).
will the 3.x ahdi and friends work with this (recommended) drive?

please respond by email.

infinite thanx...
