Subject: A bigger drive for the 30-286?

I have one question about 3rd party hard drive options for the PS/2
Model 30-286.  Are there any high-capacity drives available that would:

a.  Take advantage of the 40-pin pseudo-IDE/floppy port on the
motherboard?

or

b.  Use some other means not to take up an expansion slot for the
controler card?

Because I feel that IBM's stock drives for the 30-286 all SUCK, I opted
for the Seagate ST-151-1.  It is attached to an 8-bit ST11M controller
card.  I have another slot used up for the bracket for my external
floppy drive.  My ultimate goal is to have 2 free slots free.  I'm just
biding my time before my drive dies.
