I have a 44 MB internal drive from Core International that has been
quite satisfactory.  They have a kit which allows you to keep your old
drive when you add theirs.  (I have done this with a 20 MB IBM drive, I 
assume it works for the 30 MB.)

I am pleased with my drive from Core.  They make an 80 MB PS/2 replacement -
I think that this is the largest.
