  I realize that this is probably something that has been covered before,
but I have only been following this group for a few months, and don't
remember seeing answers to these questions. If it is common knowledge,
please reply by E-mail.
   1) I have a PS/2 50z, with a 30 meg harddrive. I have (of course)
      decided that I need more room.  I was thinking about replacing the
      drive (rather than installing another card, etc as has been dicussed
      before). My question is what type of harddrive do I need to go with
      my current controller (ESDI?). I've tried all kinds of diagnostic
      programs, but the only hint as to what type of controller I've got
      is 'IBM Fixed Disk Adapter'. Any insight?
   2) I have 1 meg RAM, is it possible to expand that on the system board
      of a model 50z? (even if only to 2 meg?)
  
                                                    - Don
