I need to upgrade the harddisk of a Compaq Deskpro 286 from 40 MB to
130 MB. A 'genuine' Compaq harddisk costs about 4 times as much as a
no-name harddisk. However, I seem to remember that there was some
discussion in this newsgroup about problems using non-Compaq harddisks
in Compaq machines. Unfortunately, I didn't save the information. Could
someone please enlighten me (preferably by E-Mail, I will forward to
Me-too requests). Thanks.
