I have an old (ca. 1983) True-Blue XT with a 10Mb hard-disk.  I would
like to upgrade to a bigger disk--at least 20Mb, and possibly even 40Mb:

* Can my old controller handle a bigger disk or do I need to replace it?
* Can anyone recommend a reliable slow (65+ ms is OK) cheap hard-disk?
* What else should I know about this subject?  

Thanks in advance.
