Hello out there!

I have a chance to buy a new IBM PC portable thru my alma matter
for $1,100.00 + $45.00 for DOS . The configuration is:
 -- system unit, keyboard, amber monitor, color graphics adaptor, 2 floppy
    drives by Qume (i think)
 -- that's all, i.e. NO serial or parallel ports, and 256K of memory
    on its (XT) motherboard.

Does anyone have any experience regarding the IBM-PPC? I read the reviews
on last year's PC trade mags and was scared by disk failure horror stories.
Also, how easy it will be to stuff a hard disk in it?

Please reply to CSNet address Spiros@GMR

Thanks in advance,
