    I'm in the midst of upgrading a 1981-vintage PC to something
reasonably close to an XT.  I've gotten the new ROM BIOS, new double-
sided floppy drives, and 512k RAM, but can't decide on a 10Meg drive.

    I'm just about ready to give up on complete XT compatibility in the
hard drive controller -- I'll settle for anything that runs DOS 2.1,
although PC/IX or VENIX compatibility would be a plus.  The main thing
is that I don't want to spend a huge amount on something that I'll probably
throw away in a couple of years anyway.  Any suggestions?  I've looked
at several popular models, but can't really judge which is the best.
Oh, I would also like to avoid upgrading the power supply, if
possible, so low power consumption is a must.

	Just mail me any suggestions you may have.  I hope I'm not repeating
an earlier request for this same info -- I'm new to this newsgroup.
