I am considering upgrading the 15 Meg hard disk on my Tandy 6000. The current
one is functioning fine, but is getting a bit full. I hear that the interface 
is a ST506 so any PC drive should work. Are there any size or number of head 
restrictions? Should I expect any remarkable speed increase? Do you just buy
a standard PC drive, put it in an expansion chasis, and plug it in the back
of the computer using the standard cables supplied with the drive? Also,
for referrence, does anyone know the access time and data transfer rate
for the standard 15 Meg drive.
						Thanks!!
