- I have a friend who owns an A590 hard drive and has run out of the
- meager 20meg of space and wants to replace the disk inside with a
- larger one. I have read that the A590 controller is quite good
- if said disk is replaced. I was under the impression that an IDE
- style disk would fit in the A590 but a talk with a Best Buy salesman
- got us the information that the drive in the 590 is of a type used in
- the pre-286 IBM machines and is now VERY hard to locate.
-
- My question is this: Is there a source for the disk style that fits into
- the A590, in a size greater than 20 meg?
-
- e-mail would be greatly appreciated.
