*** A sacrifice to the line eater ***

I have a Tandy 16B with 768K of memory and two floppy drives. Having worked
on getting Xenix 3.0 running on floppy (and being somewhat successful) I have
come to the conclusion that a hard drive would be much better (and lots easier!)

Since Tandy wants ~$1200 for a 15meg drive and controller and ~$2500 for a 35meg
and controller I am trying to find a cheaper way. I have seen the raw drives
(like the ones you would put into a pc) in the 35meg range for ~$350.

My question to the net is: Does anyone have information on a good low cost
hard drive that will work with the machine I have?  Or does anyone know of
someone that has done something like this and is willing to talk about it?

Thanks in advance.
