I currently own an IBM-PC clone with two 360k 5.25 inch floppies and
I want to aquire a hard disk of some kind. It seems the choice is
between hard cards and hard disks. 

Can anyone offer me any advice on which to go for? What are the
relative merits of these two devices? 

I should like to be able to keep both floppies, plus I also have a 3.5
inch external drive which I'd like to be able to link to my PC at a
later date - Does this effect my choice?


Thanks,

Ian.
