The 70MB drives are the RD53's, please don't recommend them to anyone. 
They're horridly unreliable.  The RD54's are about 154MB and much better
drives, however, if you look long and hard you can probably get a ESDI or
SCSI controller for what a RD54 goes for these days.

ESDI drives are probably a bit tricky to find, but this is the cheapest good 
solution.  The best obviously is SCSI, however, the controllers tend to be
expensive unless you get very lucky.

Does 2.11BSD support the KDA50?  If so that and some RA7x's might be a
solution.
