Mabuhay!

I would like to know if any body on the list has any idea how large a hard disk I can use to replace the previous hard disk  of a IBM PS/2 Model 40 Sx Laptop which was 60 MB. Scrounging around the smallest one we can get right now is 800Mb. Sourcing a part overseas (I'm in the Philippines) is out of the question. I know it is a dinosaur being a 386Sx processor with 4MB of RAM. This laptop is for use in DOS. Is it possible to get the BIOS to recognize the bigger hard disk? Apparently it seems to shift to BASIC (I think) when no operating system is present.

Thanks in advance.
