Lines: 13 I own an ancient televideo ``luggable'' XT (fully IBM compatible). Earlier this year I removed one of the 360 K drives and put in a 720 K. Now I find the external hard drive is frustrating to move around, being awkward and even heavier than the computer itself. I'd like to throw out the 10 meg. floor-based monster and install a 20 meg hard card (hard drive mounted on internal card) in my XT. What are the pros and cons of doing this? Can anyone recommend a cheap source of these types of drives? E-mail and I'll summarize if there's enough interest, thanks. -- Diane Barlow Close close@lunch.wpd.sgi.com also close@cygnus.com I'm at lunch today. :-)
