The 40M hard disk on my Compaq 386 is starting to feel a bit small, especially
as I'm considering making the system available for multiple users (under Unix+
DosMerge/386) in the forseeable future.  Has anyone with a Compaq successfully
added a 3rd-party hard drive to it?  Just to forestall the inevitable answers
from PC/AT people who've never been inside a Compaq - it doesn't appear to
have a standard (ST412?/506) controller and connectors.  I know that Compaq
sells an upgrade; I also know that manufacturers tend to be the highest-cost
source of upgrades...

Thanks for any help.  Please mail to me; if there is interest, I'll post
a summary.
