From the specs i have seen on the 30/286.  I believe the interface for the
hard drive is st-506.  However IBM uses a modified connector for the drive.
I also """heard""" that it is possible to wire up the connector (if your
really confident in yourself  ;-)  ) so that you can attach a regular
ST-506 drive.   Also I have seen several store adds of 30-286's with non IBM
non card, cheap hard drives.  So there must be some easy way of adding
one.
