I've got a model 50 with only one drive and the HDD is dead so I'm thinking a second floppy drive would be helpful. It has a single connector to the drive (40 pin?). Let me know what you have along with its condition and what you are looking for on it. Thanks!

Is you PS/2 a Model 50 or 50z ? if a 50z I have a good ( last time I used it) 30 Meg HDD that will work with it.

I do believe that you can change the riser for the Hard drive to the 50Z version. Like this:
You will notice there are no chips on it. The reason is that the Hard drives used in the 50Z and the model 70 is because they are a primitive form of IDE.
The HD controller in the plain 50 is an MFM type controller.
