I had some good experiences with Ehman.  They'll sell you an internal 45MB for
$400.  If you can put out another $100, you can probably upgrade your machine
to 2.5 Meg.  Here are their price list:

Size           Price
20Meg          $299
30+            $349
45             $399

I haven't dealt with them for a while, so may be times have change.  I heard
that their customer service may be hard to reach (it's usually busy), but it's
first rate.  You'll have to install the drive yourself though.  You'll lost the
second drive.  If you're in a user group, they'll give discounts.

Again, this information may be outdated.  Give them a call, don't take my word
for it.
