Hi!

I have an XT-compatible with 640K on the motherboard, 135 watt supply,
and 3 expansion slots available. I am thinking of adding a 286
processor and a 20M hard disk.

I have not had much experience with mail order companies, good or bad,
due to the fact, that i have not ordered for anything more than $75.

I would be grateful for any help in selecting a mail order company,
and suggestions regarding the merits/demerits of various processor
boards and hard cards/hard disks available in the market.

I have not seen any installations of a hard card. Do they work right,
what with heat dissapation and motion of the disk. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Micky
