I have a friend with a Leading Edge Model M (M is for the Mitsubishi model,
identical to a model sold under the Sperry label).  He is interested in
upgrading the machine with a hard drive and asked me which ones would work
with his machine.  Sadly, I haven't the faintest idea if he can even add
a hard drive, but I was hoping that someone out there would know.

It seems like I might have read somewhere that the Bios on the model M would
not support a hard drive, or maybe it is that the msdos version (I think it
is 2.1) doesn't or something like that.  If anyone knows what the facts are
on this, would they please write me?   If this vague memory is incorrect and
someone knows for certain of a hard drive controller that works with the 
Model M, I would appreciate that information instead.

thanks,
