I have an IBM PC portable and am thinking about adding another disk drive.
(I at present have one floppy and a ramdisk).  I'd like opinions:
Should I get a (1) 360KB drive; (2) a 1.2MB drive, or (3) a hard disk?
I've only got short slots available for a controller.  Has anyone put a 
hard disk in a portable?  Is this dangerous?  Any and all hints, suggestions,
anything would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance,
